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.

    • Dont forget the impact of the last banking crisis, covid, furlough and the energy price impact on the economy or aren't those factors that caused a financial black hole in your view of the world? 
    • Oh dear! The general response is that my experience of Jon Hartley is the norm. That’s bad. As an update to my issue with him, Ellie Reeves’ office advised that I contact the Southwark Labour Party Chief Whip in the first instance with my complaint. Coincidentally, the Chief Whip turns out to be Cllr Maggie Browning. She acknowledged my complaint and, in response, said that she had ‘spoken’ to Jon Hartley and appeared satisfied that he’d now responded to me. Not sure that’ s an adequate response, since it seems to been well-known that he consistently ignores constituents. Maggie will know that better than anyone as she’s paired with Jon in our Ward, and she’s having to pick up the stuff which he’s ignoring. As people have noted, Maggie does indeed respond to constituents but she’s now on maternity leave. Alas, I think that means we’re lumbered with just Jon. I’ve bypassed him in respect of my own issue, because I think he’s a waste of my time. In case anyone else should be having problems with him, especially now that Maggie Browning is away, I’d recommend emailing Ellie Reeves MP. Her office is very responsive in my experience and, if she hears from enough disgruntled constituents of Cllr Hartley, I imagine she be quietly speaking to the Southwark Constituency Labour Party about him. Ultimately, if he stands again, he won’t be getting my vote. Be annoyed people, be very annoyed ! Your vote should count for something and the candidates privileged enough to get it should do the job they were elected for!

    • My 7yo old daughter was really nervous about going to the podiatrist for verruca treatment. We went to Dulwich Podiatry and saw Zack, who was absolutely brilliant at making her feel calm and informing her of the process every step of the way. Just wanted to put a recommendation in for anyone who’s looking for somewhere to take a child who’s wary about any treatments.
