There are already full height doors under the stairs going from reception 1 into reception 2, although only just. That is why my original question was about the ceiling height under the stairs. the property is an end terrace, so the rear entrance is on the next street, which makes it more feasible as a main door to the ground floor flat. You would be entering the flat from your own back yard.
I believe there are several options open to me if I am prepared to spend, but for me it is about renting them out and getting the maximum yield, so the less work the better, if I can get the planners to agree!
