Hi Guys,
I am having a loft conversion in the new year to create an extra bedroom and living space. Our plan is to convert our kitchen/diner and current living room into an open plan kitchen/diner. The wall between the two rooms is a stud wall and non load bearing. I am looking to open this wall up and remove the kitchen door. Does anyone know if there would be any issues around fire regs or building regs doing this? Would I need any permissions? I know that the door to the hallway would need to be a fire door due to the loft conversion. The kitchen layout would remain the same in terms of plumbing and gas/oven locations. I have attached drawings to give you an idea of what I mean.
Thanks
Tom
