    Good to know these rules have been relaxed. Where would you have to go to check it for sure??? Building control at the local council?

    As I understand it, one door's enough if there's a sink. I think the issue isn't the toilet being next to the kitchen, but people coming out then washing their hands in the food preparation area, potentially splashing over plates or food.

    Having a loo off the kitchen isn't minging but not having a wash basin right next to it certainly is!

    I'd be more worried about nasty niffs coming from the bathroom and in to the kitchen when I'm cooking. Ewwwww :s

    A good extractor fan would solve that problem.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.
