Something like this, although there will not be a basin in the worktop. There will be a solid (brick) wall in between shower and w/m. No bath.
Does it comply with regs, does anyone know?

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

Posting as i'm intrigued by what the answer might be.
Would there be a reason it wouldn't comply with regs? (eletrics in the bathroom, maybe?) Didn't know you'd have to consult anyone for that...0 -

I assume it would have to be installed by an electrician. Just would not want it not to be compliant with any regs there might be.
It would solve a lot of storage problems for us, if we could put the w/m in the bathroom and use the little utility alcove for storage!!(AKA HRH_MUngo)

I viewed a studio flat many years ago, and the bathroom had the washing machine fitted in it. There wouldn't have been room in the little kitchenette. It looked like it was in the design of the block of studios, with a specific space for it, so I'd say it's fine subject to proper electrical installation.
I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe

I think you not allowed 3 pin plugs in the bathroom.“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

Yes I think that too, which is why I think it will need to be installed by an electrician, or put the flex through the wall and have the plug outside.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

I've got a small porch at the back of my house, both washing machine & dryer are in there. Much better than the kitchen, so if the bathroom is big enough i think it's a good idea.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

They are allowed as long as the manufacturer states suitable but must be rcd protected. The easiest way would be to have it hard wired and switched from outside the bathroom / zones. A normal socket needs to be too far away from zone 1 to be fitted in most UK bathrooms. http://electrical.theiet.org/wiring-matters/53/section-701/index.cfm0
