Hi, when you purchased the property, your solicitor should have obtained copies of any necessary planning consents.
If this was not done, you will have to contact your local council to obtain a retrospective Certificate of Lawfulness. If the existing structure has been in situ for more than 4 years, the council should issue the certificate.

Hi, you can post a further question, marked "FAO: INC"
The only other information you would need is pictures, if you have any or evidence that the structure was in situ at your time of purchase. This information should be available within the estate agents particulars from the time you purchased the property.
