    So be prudent to speak to a building control officer at local council and then submit the finished thing to the council for it to be signed off from a building regs perspective (pre doing the work) which they'd then check after?

  • Building control will usually ask for your plans to be signed off by a fire officer if there's any ambiguity (fire risk assessment/fire strategy plan).

  • The building control guy I spoke to was the one being used by the building company doing the work so ultimately being paid by me which probably made them a bit more amenable to questions, not sure how much you'd get out of the council for free.

    I can't remember why you're redoing the floor plan. I'd be tempted to nick a bit of the bathroom for a washing machine maybe but other than that I don't think I'd do much. I lived in a place for 10 years with a kitchen about that size.

    The only option I'd probably really look at would be swapping bedroom 2 and kitchen but that would possibly hit the resale value if that's a concern.
