Hi I am in the process of converting a building into an annexe but now have so many windows in the kitchen ( all approved by BC ) I don't know if I will have issues placing the cooker. Are their rules around how close a cooker can be to open windows ? I also have a roof window in the kitchen...

Thanks for the quick reply, so if I don't fix the celotex and just hold with the battens ( snugly ) will that be ok when the plasterboard is fitted ? Cliff
