Hi I am looking for some advice / help regarding carrying out an alteration in my home with opinions on how Scottish building control would view my proposal. So it’s a 3 storey town house built in 2012 set up as follows : 2 x bedrooms on ground floor, 1 bedroom has en-suite shower room with shower, wc and sink. In addition to this there is a cloaks wc comprising toilet and sink which is classed as accessible in terms of building regs sizes etc. : middle floor has lounge, kitchen and another shower room with shower, wc and sink, (note the shower is raised so this requires stepped into) this is also classed as accessible and on principal living level. : top floor has 1 bedroom and one small bathroom ( 1500mm bath ) toilet and sink. Basically I’m looking to remove middle floor shower room to create an open plan area. This would leave sanitary facilities on ground floor and top floor. It should be noted that the middle floor can only be accessed by stairs though there is provision for a stair lift in the original plans. On removal of the room the associated drain pipes etc will be capped off under the floor directly beneath the original facilities to allow ease of fitment should circumstances change. Basically looking for opinions on how building control would view the removal of this facility and any help in making my plans more viable to them. Thanks I’m advance.
