We’ve had a couple of builders and a structural engineer look at our chimney that is leaning slightly. One side has a few cracks and it’s been suggested that instead of relaying the top few bricks and repointing it’s better to remove the whole thing to below the roof.
I’m wondering if I would need planning permission for this? I’m confirming with the structural engineer that we don’t need his input but I’m wondering if removing the chimney stack would cause any issues with the bit I’ve circled in red on my photo. It looks quite important. Please excuse my questions if they are silly but I have no idea how to go about this. Also with it being, I think it’s called corbelled?, does that make it any more difficult to do?
