As long as the pressure is ok the the water connection should be fine. Basin wastes tend to be 32mm but the washing machine needs to be 40mm therefore you would need to take the waste to a connection on the stack.

If it is physically possible, you could up the size of the waste pipe from basin to 40mm for it's entire length, or just the bit between stack and where w/machine waste joins.

This will save having to run a seperate waste in 40mm just for machine.

ime getting rid of the sink as its never used in there

In that case, just fit a w/machine upstand/trap and renew the waste pipe with 40mm all the way back to stack.

You don't wash your hands before leaving the loo

I would think it gives a very bad signal not having a basin and a towel in a toilet!

I would refuse any food in a household like that unless it was individually wrapped!
