Building Control will probably want to see a structural engineer's sign-off for the hole in the wall and any lintel required.

On the other hand they'll have no interest if it is non-loadbearing
(unless it is for fire purposes). So as the OP is not able to determine
by himself, the key is, as he suggested, to "get someone in" to at least
determine that.

Fire purposes should be pretty obvious from a quick look at the building
regs to see why and where a wall may be required.
