A phone call to the council will be the most accurate way of finding out for sure!!
Planning permission is not required for re-roofing - unless you are in a 'designated area' such as a conservation area
You will need to apply for building regulations though, as this is a 'thermal element' under recent changes to the regulations.
This will also most likely force you to upgrade roof insualtion too, if you have not already done so
