Default Kitchen Off Bathroom - One Door Now?

Bit confused about this. Our bathroom goes directly off the kitchen with
one door (has a wash basin, loo and bath in it). At one time, I recall
that there had to be two doors in between - has that changed now please?
I'm struggling to find any up-to-date info, but the suggestion is that
that rule has now been relaxed.
Thanks.

Approved doc G is the one you need.

(IIRC, one door is all that is required)

It never was the case, but was a common misinterpretation.

Yes.

The up-to-date info is any Approved Document G published in the last
twenty years.

Interesting. How did that come about?
