My landlord is the local authority. I have obtained planning consent and building regulations consent for alterations to my property. Does that mean that automatically I have the landlord’s consent to the alterations under the lease?

No. the granting of planning consent and building regulations consent does not mean the landlord has automatically granted consent required under the lease. You should apply to the landlord for separate consent under the lease.
