Hi all,
There is currently a door that goes from my kitchen into my garage. I'd like to use the last third of my garage (closest to the kitchen) as a small 'boot room' that will house my freezer, hoover, ironing board & shoes etc. There is already a socket on the wall for the freezer and an existing light so would just need to construct another wall and doorway from the boot room into the garage. I plan on keeping my fire door into the kitchen.
Reading quickly online, building control would need to be informed if this room was to be habitable. There is no mention of a non-habitable room or how this is classified (or even if what I am intending to build is habitable).
I guess what I'm asking is 'what is classified as a habitable room' and 'can I make my planned boot room non-habitable'?
Thanks,
Tom
