Planning Permission
Planning permission is not generally required to replace a floor or ceiling. However if you live in a listed building you should contact your Local Planning Authority.
Building regulations
Where more than 25 per cent of a ceiling below a cold loft space or flat roof is being replaced then building regulations would normally apply, and the thermal insulation of that ceiling would normally have to be improved.
