We are in the process of buying a house and will have to remove a window at the back of the house and replace that with French doors (opening outwards) Its not a conservation area.

Does anyone know if any permission will be required BEFORE we do this? I don't mind if when we come to sell in the future if we need to pay for rerospective permission but we are a bit worried if it's a case of we could be asked to reverse the work because we didn't get planning.

    Probably won't need planning (if not a listed building or conservation area), but it will need a building warrant (and it can be difficult to get those retrospectively).
