Hello,
of course, I would never actually do something like this, but just out of curiosity:
Let’s imagine I buy a half-timbered house with a heritage designation and want to demolish a wall, which is not allowed due to the preservation rules.
If I hire a structural engineer to assess the wall, will they take the heritage restrictions into account?
And if the structural engineer says the wall can be removed and I hire a contractor to take it down, will they care about the heritage designation?
Or in other words: If I simply go ahead and demolish the wall without permission, who would care?
Best regards
