If you are undertaking a boarding out exercise as suggested and using the space for storage you should not need.
One area I would suggest you consider very carefully is the addition of insulation.
If this is done incorrectly, you are likely to create condensation and introduce a damp environment that could be more problematic to you in the end.

We can review all of the above with you and ensure that your work is compliant with current regulations.
