Alterations and permissions

Posted by Leo Bellis-Jones, on
I've about to complete on a 1920s flat in East London. Do I need to apply for permission to add a window into a rear wall, move a side door several meters along a wall, and remove an internal non-load bearing wall.

Yes you would need to speak to the planning department as regards a new window opening and door too if it's an exterior door, you would need building control or a building inspector for removing part of a wall
