I can totally understand why they exist, in a way, but find them so limiting!
Looking at extending and could fit in a downstairs WC off a vestibule/porch (we're going sideways).
Taking into account some building regs rules we would be able to create the 700x850mm space for the WC, 800x850mm Infront of this for usable space (bigger than what they ask for) and the sink would sit in a narrower part of the room beyond this. Access would be from side into the 800x850space, this means the sink would be behind the door when open.
Now building regs says the door needs be outwards opening for a wc, which as far as I can tell isn't possible as it then interacts with the front door, second vestibule door and opens into the 900/1000mm wide corridor /vestibule space not allowing enough access.
But apart the WC itself fills all other space quotes as far as I can tell!
Just frustrating! We could always lie have it signed off as a cupboard then fit the sanitary ware after sign off, but it's just frustrating they won't allow it.
This is where someone comes in and tells me otherwise.
