Remove internal wall

Posted by Ziah Fogel, on
Hello, We have a long hallway and would like to remove the wall on one side so as to open up the area a bit more. What is the best way to check whether the new internal floor-plan / layout would meet any building codes and/or require building regulations? The wall does not appear to be load-bearing. It is simply forming the hall alongside the living room, and removing it would create a more open space. Is there any way to tell if it would be suitable for fire-code regulations?

Hi Ziah consult your local council building control officer they will advise you on any alterations you are thinking of making. ED
