Changing new house layout

You most prob wouldn't be able to extend to the side as the neighbours house will more than likely mirror the house so you have to be aware of the 'right to light' rule. By extending out you may restrict light to the kitchen window and dining room window of the neighbours house (if terraced and mirrored).

Also looking at the layout the stairs will restrict use of the cupboard so really the best place for a WC/ Utility is where it is.

I lived in a house similar to this and could have done it no problem because the neighbour's rear extension was on the boundary and had no windows.

Worth a chat with the local planning dept.

That's enough for patio doors, isn't it?


The OP wants patio doors in that end wall. If they do that, the utility room can't stay where is it whatever happens.

It's enough, yes but you wouldn't be able to do anything with that space!!
