No building warrant required for new bathroom?

[Tennentslager]

In this snip from Scottish BR says ensuite bathrooms are exempt from the need for a warrant...however I want to split a current bedroom into a WC/ wash basin room and a utility room, so strictly it's not ensuite...same thing or am I chancing it?

That's just a few example of minor work that does not need a building warrant, not a definitive list. they are more worried about knocking walls down, not putting up a new stud wall.  I would just do it.

 

If in doubt, put a bed in the utility room so formed.
