We are thinking of using a stud partition wall to create a walk in wardrobe in a bedroom. It would be approximately 2.7 m long and 1 m wide. There would be a door at the end (i.e. in the 1 m width). Does anyone know if permission is required to do such a thing? Also, is it likely that the weight of the long wall would be sufficient for me to need to reinforce the joists if they happen to run parallel to the long wall (I haven't looked yet!)? I've read other threads about the construction process, but any other advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks to anyone who has the knowledge and time to respond.
