Did you always need planning permission for a swimming pool?

Another spanner in the works with selling the late FiL’s house.
He has a large swimming pool which was installed in 1991. There is no paperwork, apart from bills.
Did you even need planning permission for a pool in 1991? (In Lot)
He left all his bills, he had permission for everything else, and all the papers are there, so this is a bit of a puzzle.
He said he had it done along with that of a neighbour, who was a police officer. I can’t imagine him just saying “bks to it”

It's on the cadastral plans (although so is a mystery 2nd one which has never existed, so that's another thing we need to correct) and he's always paid the taxe on it.

Interesting that PP wasn't necessarily a thing back then.
