Lovely !

Basically it's a new build, but with simpler planning permission.
BTDT, worked out very well.

It is not a new build. A new build means demolishing the existing and
building fresh. In a new build you get "all" the VAT back, but not in a
renovation.

So it would probably be cost effective to have it as a new build and
not a renovation... a couple of days demolishing and skip hire
against all that VAT...
