I am planning on repurposing part of our family bathroom to be an ensuite to one of the bedrooms by adding a new door and putting up a stud wall. I've not created the new doorway yet, so am still somewhat flexible as to its placement along the long wall.
Space is tight and the ensuite will measure 1000mm by 2000mm. Within that space I've managed to draw out (to scale) everything I want included on a piece of paper (below).
Note: 1 block is 100mm by 100mm.
Two questions:

Two questions:
- The max. opening I can create for the door (outward opening) will be 800mm, but I'd ideally need it to be a little smaller for the door lining not to interfere with the door lining.
- Assuming a 686mm door is the minimum allowed, what is the minimal width of wall to remove to fit a door like this?
- As there's limited space for the toilet...
- I'd ideally use a 500mm back to wall toilet. This would however require me to locate the concealed cistern in the cupboard on the wall to its right, and have the pipes running in a U-shape from the cupboard to its right to the back to wall toilet through. I am sure I can chase out the wall along the 400mm to hide the pipework. Or is this a bad idea?
- Alternatively I'd use a 600mm space saver toilet, but this depends on the options for the door, as I don't want to bang my shins on the toilet every time I go through the door.
