Knocking through into bedroom to turn upstairs loo into small bathroom - where do you start?

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.21 PM

We are hoping to knock through into an adjoining bedroom to turn our upstairs loo into a small bathroom. Our house is a 1910 mid-terrace. The upstairs loo is in a window recess above the back door and is part of the back projection. The room we want to knock through into is the back bedroom which is a decent size (12 x 9). We want to keep part of it as a small box room / bedroom. What is the first thing we need to do? Do we need a structural engineer to look at it? Do we need to get planning permission? Do we need to have plans drawn up? No idea where to start with something like this, so any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks.
