Hi
In pondering the many facets of our small kitchen extension, one thing I thought was always going to be required was a doorway from the kitchen to outside, owing to the inner room (Utility) adjoining it.
I'm reading the regulations now though and I can't seem to find anything that matches my logic, as long as the window from the kitchen to outside is <1100mm from floor level and has the necessary size of opening (as would be required for the Kitchen anyway). I think I must have been thinking about our old window, which is higher off the ground, and how therefore the existing arrangement doesn't comply.
Is my interpretation correct? Is the external door not required? It would save a bundle of space and cost if not needed, as the door needs to be a fire door owing to the proximity to the fence line.
Thanks
Mike
