You would probably be expected to defend the front door from an overnight kitchen fire so the bedroom occupants had time to escape.
what do you mean by this sorry?
edit. On this:
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).
I don't think any of this will go to building control, just me giving a paper SoW to the contractor (likely a 1 man band)

Without a door to the kitchen you'll probably need to demonstrate how a sleeping person would still have 30 seconds to exit if there was a (big) fire in the (high risk) kitchen.
For us, this meant detailing the sensor/alarm and then having the automist (initially one, but they made us get two). Our kitchen to front door distance was further, but we had the added risk of a loft room.
'Defense' meaning water/foam/screening/etc. Or you could possibly detail a second fire exit through a window, etc.

Your layout is fairly unique. Usually the only way an escape route could lead near/through a kitchen is if you have a mist system, or sprinklers installed. Open plan room = corridor/escape route.

We've used Automist previously which was £2960 + VAT for the following:
2 x Automist smartscan systems
2x wall mounted emitters
2x hard wired Aico
Heat alarm
24 months warranty
Shout if you want other Automist details: pump location and water pressure might be tricky, etc.
