I'm trying to find out if there is a minimum distance from the bottom of a staircase to the opening for a kitchen door.
Ideally I want to install a right-hand winder staircase in the hall that will wrap around the external corner of the kitchen. The lower section of stairs will be against the same wall as the kitchen door. The door will open into the kitchen.
At present the kitchen door is off to one side and restricts wall space for cupboards. To make better use of wall space within the kitchen its door needs to be relocated nearer to the bottom of the proposed staircase but how close to the stairs can the kitchen door go? See diagram.
Any help will be much appreciated.
