Loft hatch / building regs question

Hoploz

... So anyway, it doesn't seem as if I'd need to get any official approval to cut a hole through the floor.

Still thinking about it, not going to rush into anything.

There's planning permission already in place to put in a proper staircase, but this means losing both the study downstairs and the bathroom upstairs to fit it in so we are reluctant to make such a big change for occasional use.

Is there now way to put in a corridor in the bedroom your son walks through

Hoploz

No stef, there isn't as it has sloping ceilings, it was originally the attic, so the head height is too limited.

I'm guessing the doors are not in line, so a stud wall in the spare room creating a corridor is not an option?

Spacesaver staircase - unobtrusive in the study and a giggle for your lad to use...

Ruski do you know how big the hole would need to be in the floor to fit one of those space saving staircases? I can't easily find much info online about them

Ruski

Ideally the same size as the top to toe dimension, so about 1500mm long
