On Mon, 13 Dec 2004 21:56:52 -0000, a particular chimpanzee named
"Dean Lawrence" randomly hit the
keyboard and produced:

Now it is fine for us to use at this width, and we are exempt from Part M of
the regs (as far as I can make out) because it is an extension to an
existing dwelling and we haven't removed a WC (we've added one though. I bet
this shafts us somehow!), but I would like to know if there is a minimum
"non-door containing doorway" or "opening without a door" width for
extensions to existing dwellings.

Indeed, the requirements of Part M don't apply to the work you're
carrying out, so there is no minimum clear opening width for doors or
openings (unless you've got a night club in your extension).

If you do change the WC at any time in the future, you would need to
make sure that you made it no worse than before the work is carried
out (so, yes, you have shafted yourself to some extent).
