chimney breast or remove a wall (eg to make a through lounge)?
Yes. If you want to take down a chimney-breast or remove a wall, you should send us an application along with the appropriate fee charge. You do not normally need planning permission for this type of work unless you live in a conservation area or a listed building. You may also need to get your neighbour’s agreement under the Party Wall Act. If you live in a flat, in addition to getting the written agreement of neighbours, including other flat owners, you will also normally need to obtain the landlord’s written permission.
