Hello, we're currently in outline planning for a kitchen side return extension and I'd really like advice from anyone that's done it about where best to situate at utility space and a downstairs loo. Ideally we want to keep our access to the cellar for storage which means we can't do anything with the under stairs space and we want full width bi fold doors that will mean we can't build either the garden end of the room. I'm resigned to building a room between the two entrances to the kitchen and I'm leaning towards that being a utility room but would love a downstairs loo too if we could fit that it. I'm also not sure where we'd locate the boiler as I'd like to keep that outside wall clear as its effectively the main walkway from the back of the lounge.


Any thoughts/experiences gratefully received!


Thank you

We put a toilet in under the stairs, opposite the cellar door, slightly jutting into the corner of the kitchen. You don't notice it in the kitchen because it fits with the line of cupboards on that wall. We moved the cellar door about a foot or so into the cellar to make sure we had access space there.

    • Some suggestions for mandatory action might include:- 1. Permit retailers to display facial images on the premises  of previous offenders at their local store. 2. Sound an alert and display images on screens inside the store when the FR flags up a person entering who is on the national database of shoplifters. 3. Physically bar recognised shoplifters from the premises. Should they attempt to force entry then charges should be pressed under aggravated trespass, which  a criminal offence under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. 4. Change the law to allow retailers to have enhanced powers of citizens arrest. What would you suggest? The UK seems to have the most lenient policy towards shoplifting , probably because of other demands on the police force. On the plus side, they may have more time for it now that non-crime hate incidents will no longer be investigated. Other countries, such as the USA have much more sever punishment as does Singapore where repeat offenders or aggravated cases can be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison, a fine, or both.
    • No, we'd have to be in a police state.  You'd have to get this made law.  Unless it is in Reform's policies.  I'll check. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/live-facial-recognition-technology-to-catch-high-harm-offenders Not government policy
    • There is a sign outside what was Megan's saying that whatever is replacing it will have an "all day concept." What the (expletive deleted) is an "all day concept", and how does it differ from being open all day? For (expletive deleted)'s sake 🙄
