Looks good - boot room, coat cupboard and utility rm is the dream ! Out of interest - what kind of contract will you have for the build ? Will EC have a dedicated architect (person) to run the job and administer a contract even tho it’s all under one umbrella corp ?
Sheppz-
EC are fantastic in that regard. Doug is an Architect but his heart is in bespoke construction. He was on site nearly every day with us making sure every little detail was just right and managing the whole thing. They also don't sub contract work out but instead have a small staff of trades who are the nicest guys and 100% reliable and trustworthy.
I'm getting a tired of project managing my bathroom, next project I get done I'm either 100% doing. it all myself (unlikely) or paying a proper full service contract firm recommended by trusted architects who employ a project manager.

Not 100% I think that will come through stage 4 - which is post plan submission. We've got a pretty detailed outline of how each stage works. Yeah we decided to lose the existing downstairs wc to make way for a buggy store/boot room and not mean having to enter at the side and come round the back through utility room. @chrisbmx116 knows more about the exact way the project would run...

Here are the plans - we've not got to the full plans for planning but that is the next stage. Also no itemised costs but a high level view. The outlined costs for this work, they have estimated to be £280-320k all in which is 30% over what we had given as our budget. I know they've specced a ton of bespoke cabinetry etc which won't be cheap, so think there is a good amount of room to sharpen the pencil on this.
