Hi,
In my kitchen is a little (boarded up on the inside) window about 40cm wide and 60cm tall. It's pretty knackered, from what I can see on the outside.
I would like to replace it with a non-opening one, same width, but right down to the floor.
Two considerations I can think of:
1. Will I need planning permission? It is on the side of the house, facing next door. Already 4 other windows on that face, including the large kitchen window almost right next to it.
2. Can it be done just by removing the existing window and the bricks below it? i.e. is the size of lintel required affected by the height of the hole, or just its width?
