Hi,
I just moved into semi detach property. I want to remove chimney which is on ground and first floor + Loft.
I contacted local planning and they advised i dont need planning application to remove chimney.
They told me that i need to deal with building regulations.
I found very useful guide notes for chimney removal guide notes from neighboring council
http://www.rbwm.gov.uk/public/bc_cg16_removing_a_chimney.pdf
I assume same guide applies to all councils and i can use these as guidelines. Please do correct me if i am wrong.
I dont want to upset my new neighbour, Can anyone advise how should i approach this situation.
I believe our chimney is not shared between us. My neighbor they do use their fireplace.
Do i have to file application to Building regulation for this?
Or can i just getaway with simply getting the work done using guide notes mentioned in above link.
Thanks
