Hi guys, basically I have a utility room on the side of my mid terraced house, I am looking for somewhere to work separately from the family without having to build a log cabin. The utility room seems ideal for what I need, though the tumble dryer and washing machine will have to stay (which isn't a problem as I mostly need worktop space). I have a nook, then the door is placed further inside an opening, see here:

I want to move the door flush with the house and lay a concrete floor flush with inside. This would then provide me with more usable worktop space. I assume there is already a lintel in place and the main part of the works is digging and laying the concrete floor.
Anyone with any knowledge if I would need building regulations approval to do this? I assume so as it would require a DPC? Also, how much roughly would I expect to pay to have this done? It may sway me more towards getting an insulated log cabin if expensive.
Thanks everyone in advance.
