It seems I have to remove a chimney, because I want to put a door next to it and BCO will not allow this while the chimney can still be made to function as a chimney (i.e. blocking it up is not enough). There isn't really anywhere else to put the door.
Unfortunately removing the chimney is tricky, because a substantial roof support rests on some corbelling protruding from the stack.
Just wondering what my options are. Is it practical to extend a roof support without rebuilding the roof? One option might be to support the top section of chimney with metalwork and remove it from below leaving corbelling in place.
thanks for any advice.
