However you will likely need to apply for planning permission as it is not a like for like replacement. You do not normally need to apply for planning permission to re roof your house or to insert roof lights or skylights as the permitted development rules allow for roof alterations subject to the following limits and conditions.

This should be a straightforward process especially if it is a low pitch roof. Outbuildings and garages to be single storey with maximum eaves height of 2 5 metres and maximum overall height of four metres with a dual pitched roof or three metres for any other roof.

You do not need planning permission for a garage in most cases.

However that does not mean you can build without limits. No outbuilding such as a garage on land forward of a wall forming the principal elevation.
