Maximum gap size internal wall removal
Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2013 10:09 pm
Hi everyone,
I am looking at knocking through 2 reception rooms into one, i have been advised that regulations recently changed and the maximum gap i can have is reduced because there is an existing arch in the hall way next to it. Its a load bearing wall.. i have drawn the layout below.. kind of! Does anyone know what the max opening i can have is?
