Access to kitchen too narrow to get large kitchen appliances through. If you want to know how your DIY projects could be affected by building and planning regulations, click here to post questions and view answers

I have recently moved to a property that does not provide direct access to the kitchen for large appliances. The doorway to access the kitchen area from the main front door is only 57cm wide - not wide enough to get standard (60cm) appliances through. I have been advised previous tenants have had to take appliances through the neighbour's house into the back garden and through the back door to the kitchen. I am wondering if there is anything I can do about this as it seems unreasonable to have to ask the neighbours for access each time you purchase new appliances.
