Stop guessign and have a look. I doubt any beams rest on the top of

Yep. As the ceiling will be coming down I can chip away at some areas
of plaster and see where the beams run.

I understand what you are saying about planning permission to effect
change of use of the room but how would this affect the removal of the
chimney breast?
