    Hi we are in the same position, son is about to exchange on a house with partial chimney breast removed in kitchen. I have spoken to building control (stupidly as now we can't get indemnity insurance) and they couldn't find anything recent and passed me on to archives. Archives cover 1974 - 1988 and don't have anything on it either. I queried what happended to earlier info and was told that it may be in the minute books, but that would envolve many , many hours going through every single book so wouldn't be feasible anyway.
