Structural alterations change the load-bearing parts of a house, most often removing a wall between two rooms and putting in a steel beam to create an open-plan layout. The work needs a structural engineer’s design and building regulations approval.

Do you need permission for a structural alteration in Cleethorpes?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission unless the house is listed or your permitted development rights have been removed.

What should I think about before starting?

  • Removing walls can affect the fire escape route on open-plan ground floors in three-storey houses.
  • Pipes and cables in the wall need rerouting first.
