Background: all the houses on our 1950's estate have had an added-on half-brick outhouse (long before we moved here 3 years ago). This outhouse was put on over the back door which is in our kitchen, but the outhouse itself only has a flimsy wooden door on it. As our back door isn't great (wooden and not very secure) I'd been looking into getting a new PVC for for the outhouse. However we have a French window which we use to get out onto the garden so literally have no need for the outhouse door - I can't see an occasion where we'd ever use it in fact.
Can we just brick up the door or would we need some permissions? A slight complication might be that our French window doesn't have any approvals - we bought the house with an indemnity policy to cover that. I wonder if that would affect my plans as we don't have an 'official' second door.
Any thoughts appreciated...
