Hi guys
New user.
I'm confident in do doing most jobs. I purchased a flat last year and found that the large cupboard (1.5m x 1.5m approx) in the hall to be of no use to use as we have almost no possessions since we moved. I have stated buy removing a 400mmx400mm single rad and caping the pipes off under the floor.
Then removing the plasrer board walling (taking have my ceiling plasterboard with it) and taking down plasterboard arch way to the kitchen to increace the light into the new space that will be replaced with a breakfast bar. at which point me and my fience left our current jobs to try new careers. At which point we became in able to financially carry on at the rate of renavation we had hoped( finish by now) but today I received a letter from Derwent living a housing association that runs the building we own our flat in(6 small bed room flats are in this building ) saying that the protected entrance hall is required by building regulations and to provide and planning permition I my have needed to request.
As these were false plasterboard walls. Should the permission be needed to renovate/improve our home and what permission should I have gained?
And more importantly where should I go from here?
I have searched the .gov website for regulations on this but it seems to be talking about the common hall ways no ones within the property its self.
Thanks guys
John
