Trunkie,
Re your query about building control yes you should contact building control particularly if you wish to sell your flat at a later date but if your father in law is a builder he should know that. Your current room layout would appear to be to provide fire protection between the kitchen and the bedrooms/bedroom, living room. Also are you sure the original layout had a through lounge? Is this the ground floor of a Victorian house? If so although the internal cross wall is structural even if it is a stud wall. It takes the weight of the floors above and part of the roof.
Lastly if it is a flat you will need to agree any changes with the freeholder.
