The only cellar that interests me is a wine cellar.

Apart from dealing with the damp issue, building a cellar in an existing house without one is potentially a VERY expensive exercise, particularly if you have shallow foundations and have to underpin them.

Do not be surprised if you get quotes of £25-30k + (possibly even double that if it is difficult) to do this!

If you stay under the footprint of the house you won't need planning permission, but if you strayed outside of that footprint you would have to comply with the restrictions of Class A of the General Permitted Development Order. If you were building it in your curtilage but separate from the house it would be Class E of the GPDO.

As said you will require building regulations, and generally its a crazy expensive and complicated exercise which is why most people don't do it
