Fitting a box lintel into first floor below roof trusses

[Nickdiy]

Hello

Some time ago I had plans drawn for an extension to my house. The shell is up and I am finishing off inside before ko through to main house. The plans say cut out to 2.1 m high in 2.55 m high walls. I would prefer however to cut out higher to the ceiling. Is this a problem? I was thinking of supporting both extension and existing ceiling timbers and then taking out the wall??

Replies appreciated

You have to follow what is on the plans, however, pop down to your BCO for their free advice and they may give you premission to altered the drawing with a note approval
