My house has an integral garage which is 1/3rd protruding out with the remaining 2/3rds under the bathroom. I have recently had a doorway cut into the front section of the garage to house my kitchen temporarily while I build a new kitchen.
Now that I have done this I am keen to keep the doorway and turn this area of the garage into a utility room which would involve a stud wall to segregate from the rear part of the garage and then changing garage door to window etc.
My question is this, I need to put a door on this doorway to temporarily secure the house whilst the garage door is still in place. building control have said its a garage so must be a fire door + closer etc but my understanding would be that it would no longer be a garage when the stud wall and window was in.
I dont want the expense of a fire door + closer etc if not needed but dont want to not fit it and then need to when the BC come to pass it.
