I have a bungalow with a front door to the side. As this side is south facing I would like to remove the front door and increase the opening to introduce bifold doors. I also want to block up the back door. It appears I can do this without planning consent as it's side facing and not onto a...

Thank you for replies. I am old skool with name terms:) I have told her to get her call out fees back from the "corgis" as they are obviously both incompetent.
