Planning required for repair after fire

PMBC

I doesn't seem sensible if so but is PP required to repair, reroof etc a building that was substantially fire damaged , external walls completely intact- the reconstruction will leave the building the same as before the fire?

Thanks

Generally no. However, there may be issues - was the building planning compliant, is it listed or in an architectural conservation area?

There may also be issues with a Disability Access Certificate and a Fire Certificate.

Just because the walls look intact doesn't necessarily mean there aren't cracks or smoke seeped through the plasterwork, etc.

Getting professional advice might be useful.

May depend on the extent of rebuilding required - nothwithstanding issues mentioned above RE protected structures, conservation area, etc.

My understanding is that the Mica affected replacement houses, for example, need planning even when you are rebuilding like for like.
