We had quotes of £300-£1500 for the building regs and structural calculations. That would be in addition to the £149 the council want.
As the others have said, it will tell you what size steels to use etc. We had to use 2 x 178x102x19mm @ 3m long steel rsj's.
Thing to think about is if you were to ever sell the house, the buyer would want to see you had building regs/planning permission for it. You can apply for it retrospectively, but could involve taking it down and rebuilding it lol.
