Inspector not needed but you do need 2 repeat Two doors between toilet and kitchen. That is a definite requirement. good luck.
hi, thats a big doc, so whats the deal does it need inspecting or not and if i do is it gonna cause probs ;have heard different things about the 2 door thing some say yes, some say it goes back to a victorian thing about spreading germs airbound and isn't applied any more .any replies welcome
15 pages isnt a big doc, especially as there's less than 10 that say anything helpful for your project, the relivant section is near the front
Correct me if I am wrong but the document appears to be a guidance document and for the purpose that the Op intended it looks like a building inspector is not required , it's just necessary to follow good practice guide lines. If you disagree Sean then you need to show the relevant part for our perusal.
I'll give you a clue, the answer is very early into that document ''Two doors between toilet and kitchen. That is a definite requirement.''
G 1.2 relates http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/BR_PDF_ADG_1992.pdf the 2 door rule was changed many moons ago
ok had read that bit and as you say does look like its one door ,thanks for that what about planning or regs are we saying you both agree i dont need to apply for them if attaching to existing ? thanks again
it would be very wise to ensure any works you do are in line with current BR, in this instance, from your description of the project it's a fairly safe bet that an application will not be needed
