Hi all
Am looking to extend the bathroom in our house (built around 1870). It will mean knocking down an internal wall - but it will need a lintel of some sort - as the wall starts at ground level and finishes in the roof - supporting the perlins.
Before I phone the council to check, would any experts on here think I'll need permission - or to involve the building regs people?
Thanks in advance
Simon
permission no, building control, yes.
If the building is listed you will need listed building consent. In any case you would be well advised to consult a structural engineer.

Thanks guys - council building department emailed today......
Good point. Forgot that one.
Wouldn't he also need PP for change of use or significant alteration of existing bathroom?
