I ve got in mind that you need to tell building control if you are
going to do this .

Am i correct ?

25 years ago when my neighbour did this, they only wanted to know
if you were removing a section of chimney whilst a higher section
still remained. If you took it down from the top, they didn't
want to know.

No idea if this still applies, and it may vary by area.
