Thanks

No, its not that simple Rob. Planning permission will be needed regardless of the distance of adjacent property, 5 metres is the minimum distance you have to keep even though there are cases in which this limitation can be avoided.
As to knocking down walls, you would need wat is called a D.I.A. (dichiarazione di inizio attivitą) or "declaration of commencent" regarding the work that has to be done.
