Dividing a room

Posted by Kerry Mckune, on
Hi- I have a bedroom approx 12ft by 9ft that I need to divide in two and add another internal door- not sure if the interior wall is loadbearing - I live in a rented council property- do I need to seek advice/ permission from the council before I start planning? Also there is damp to one of the interior walls that is next to communal stairway- so constantly cold on one side and warm the other- is there an easy solution? Thanks

Kerry as its rented council property you must start the ball rolling and ask for permission, you may find they might agree if you tell them you will cover the costs unsure try them first, cold walls easy solution thermal line them that will prevent the cold coming in. Bob
