Try and get full planning permission and party wall agreements to do that to a Victorian terrace!
You can get away with a litany of crimes under permitted development, granted; but straight up scooping out an existing house and building something new with a different layout and wildly different construction methods in its place just doesn't compute with the decision makers.

I don't know that you couldn't. Would the council really say no? None of the houses on my street are listed or protected. They let people pave over the front gardens, turn them into 6-bed HMOs (basically battery hen living), pebble dash them, whatever. I'm sure they'd let you knock one down.
