It doesn't sound nit-picking at all... my structural engineer is
looking after both for me - so fingers crossed. he did say that no
new build would ever get away with it - but as it is a barn - and
there are so few in the area, they may not be so strict - but who
knows!


Yes, new build HAS to be done to standards, but a revamp (remember NOT
to take down ALL walls, or its a new build) can get away with original
stuff.
