As a general rule you should not need planning permission if you are fitting windows which are identical, like-for-like replacements. However, if the new windows are a different size, style or material to those you are replacing you may need to apply for planning permission.
You should contact your local planning authority, as rules differ from council to council. There is no standard rule for this.
If your flat is in a conservation area the above advice applies, unless your proposals involve an element of demolition, then you may need to apply for planning permission.
If your flat is in a listed building, it is very likely you will need listed building consent and no works should be carried out before contacting the local planning authority for advice or obtaining the relevant consent.
