Toilet space required

[Marvin]

Looks OK but

 

 

Shut the door.

 

WTF!

Comical! What’s the ‘standard’ space required in front of a pan? I thought it was about 600mm?

No such requirement unless it is the accessible WC under Part M of building regs where it applies. 
 

And that’s not the worst I have seen…

Scotland has a requirement for "activity spaces" and that would fail.

 

The ones that bug me are public loo cubicles, more likely in pubs etc where the door swings in and you almost have to stand on the pan to shut the door it swings that close to the pan.

Handy if P#£&ed, fall forward, don’t fall off

To be fair, i would rather have that as a downstairs loo, than no loo downstairs. I appreciate that it wouldnt meet current regs for accessibility.

Needs a pair of well padded grab-handles on the back of the door, just above knee height.

I mean, its a double-activity facility: puke and strain all at once.

Regardless of any regulations, there's not enough room for a normal reach-around without wiping your nose on the door. Hence the high gloss door finish.

Don't worry it's going to go and become a plant pot of a different nature..  .

Er... don't fall anywhere and the basin is chin height in case your too far gone and want to speak to God on the big white (grey in this case) phone.
