I want to install some sound insulation on a section of the dividing wall (plasterboard) between me and next door but before I do this I'd like to know how the whole place was constructed e.g. whats behind all the plaster boarding when this 1912 brick place was converted into apartments (2003).
I'd like some floor plans of the the whole development to try and see layout and those sort of details. I did briefly get sight of of some sort of brochure plan that the people that reassessed the council tax band had (this was 2004) so they do exist but I don't know where.
Its been suggested that I try the council planning dept and the library - both hopeless as is the buildings management company.

Have you already stripped the walls or are you going to strip them to install the sound-proofing?

Most councils were pretty good at record keeping by 2003.
You’ll need to speak to building regs rather than planning and will probably have to visit the council’s offices, there’s also a chance it wasn’t built as the regs say anyway.
If it’s coming off, just take it off.

Your local council will hold some plans. Depending on when the conversion was done they might be online/in a filing cabinet/non-existent and they may not be very detailed. The more recent the conversion the better the docs will be.
What do you need to know and why?
