Don't need to ask the landlord, but expect to pay for repair costs if you don't do a good job of repairing the damage when you move out. Make sure the safe's moved out well in advance of the end of your tenancy to give you time to repair.
Since your room is your personal space, put a lock on the door so the inspector can't insinuate other people might be able to get to the safe without your permission. Practically speaking the safe is stronger than the door is, but it shows that you've defined your personal space.
If you've just applied for your license you may find you end up moving out before they ever come to inspect you or issue your license. New licenses are taking up to 15 months now...
