Is my bathroom regs compliant?

Hi Everyone, 

 

Having a bit of a head scratch moment and wondered if anyone could shed any light as to wether my plans to move our bathroom upstairs would comply with regs, particularly part B.

 

The room is directly above the existing bathroom that has a door leading out to the main gallery landing to the staircase which leads to the open plan kitchen/dining/living space and has a small skylight fitted at 1.7m sill height.

 

would this room comply with regs?

 

Thanks

In what way are you concerned in not being able to comply with ADB?


It was this part 

 

Escape from upper storeys a maximum of 4.5m above
ground level
2.2 See Diagram 2.1b. Where served by only one stair, all habitable rooms (excluding kitchens) should have either of the following.
a. An emergency escape window or external door, as described in paragraph 2.10.
b. Direct access to a protected stairway, as described in paragraph 2.5a.
2.3 Two rooms may be served by a single window. A door between the rooms should provide access to the window without passing through the stair enclosure. Both rooms should have their own access to the internal stair.

 

As I’m not sure the room will comply with that statement?

Bathrooms are not included in this as they are not habitable rooms 

 

Check the definitions 

 

Habitable room A room used, or intended to
be used, for people to live in (including, for the purposes of Approved Document B Volumes 1 and 2, a kitchen, but not a bathroom).

Thats what I thought, I just got my head in a mix with the way it’s phrased and had a small panic ?
