Doors between toliet and kitchen

[bennyboy]

Hi I hope you can help.

I am at the begining stages of planning a redesign of our kitchen. At present we have a tiny kitchen plus a utility room with access through the house to the front and back. To enlarge the kitchen I wish to knock through to the utility room wall making an unverted L shaped kitchen/diner space. Leading off the utility room is a passageway to the back garden and is aprox 1200mm wide; it also houses our downstairs toliet.

Legally do I need 2 doors between the kitchen dinner area and the toliet or can I get away with just the 1 door? The passageway is too wide for a normal sized door and the toliet will be approx, 5-6m away from areas of food preparation and 3-4m away from the dinning area.

Any thoughs welcome, sorry for being long winded!!!

It used to be having a double doors but it does limited the room area so they've got round it by having a basin in the toilet area which mean you only need one door but as always check with BCO first.

Thanks for your replies. Found the building regulations on the Deputy Prime Minister's website which confirms this.
