Relocating a bathroom/Corridor width 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

Hi,

We are considering relocating our bathroom, which would involve creating a corridor through a current bedroom. Can you advise...

1) Whether there is a minimum width that a newly constructed corridor should be?
2) Whether we would need planning permission for the bathroom relocation/separation of one room into a smaller room and a corridor?

Thanks!

It's unlikely that you'll need planning permission unless it's a listed building.

You WILL need building regulations though. Trot along and see your frendly neighbourhood BCO for a chat. Alternatively get a builder or three in to quote and let them deal with building control in due course.

Cheers
