Min headroom on a door

[someonelse]

Are there regulations specifying this?

Currently have an externally accessed 'garden store' room adjoing the house.
Thinking of creating a new access internally which would pass under the stairs, so max headroom about 5' 8. The room would be used as a storeage/utility room (may add a sink).

Possible or a non-starter?

Well, it's a bit low, isn't it?

My third bedroom is partly in the eaves as the garage is underneath and the side of the house come s down to single story height.
From the bedroom there is a door into a small box room which was attic like with bare brickwork and exposed roof timbers, the door is about 5 feet high. That has now been panelled and insulated and the door removed but I have banged my head on it umpteen times, even though I am a short arse and have lived there a while

You could hang a flag type thing inside the doorway to encourage ducking

Not for a short AR's

so max headroom about 5' 8.

It would never be a selling point.

No legal minimum height.

Not too low for me!
And I'm planning on living here. Selling, if ever, is a long way off.......

So my concern is just whether Building Control would have a problem signing off the work.

i would say as it not a habitable room or a corridor to a habbitable room but a storage area with possibly a sink it can be what you like
i think in an attic conversion its 2m but if the full clear width at the top off the stairs is a bit less at perhaps 1900 for all the central width and most off the edge your ok
