I bought our house 2 years ago and the living room and dinning room are open to be one big room, however its not opened up enough. In survey they picked up the lintel should be checked out by a structural engineer. Does this mean that the person before us that had the house didn't get planning, building control to pass this off. If this didn't go through building control could we open it up more and just say it was always like this as no one would know, as half the job is already done before i bought the house
The picture shows the current size of the opening as A
The new opening should be B
