Hi, any advice greatly appreciated! Taking down a support wall to open up lounge kitchen into open plan and rsj going in. Ive started reading through council waffle but can anyone offer quick advice on whats needed from council point of view? Is it just a building reg application than needs to be done before work starts or do they come and approve after work has been done? I know each council is slightly different but any general advice on fees, whats needed and experience of length of time it takes would be a massive help to for my understanding on this. Want to play it by the book but I dont want to apply for something I dont need.
