It only required that because it was a "non-binding, advisory" referendum.

I mean it was fairly obvious leading up to the vote that it wasn't just going to be taken as advisory, but there technically should have been another vote before Brexit formally happened.

Of course that wouldn't happen though, because the conservatives that wanted Brexit to happen knew they got lucky first time round, and would lose their lightning in a bottle of they'd put it out there a second time.
