I have a question about adding a new door.
The situation is as follows....
It is a modern(3 years old) townhouse with the garage integrated. The garage at the moment only has access through the main garage door and I would like to add a door from the house into the garage because the washing machine is in there. I have heard that some of the other townhouses that are the same have done this already.
Is there any regulations regarding the addition of a door? I will be making the door secure for security reasons but what about fire? Do I need planning permission?
My other question I have is about what way the door should open. The garage adjoins the house in a hallway, my preference would be to have the door open into the garage because I won't be using the garage for a car, it is more practical giving more room to manouver in the hallway.... any ideas or suggestions? When I come to sell the house will it make a difference?
Cheers Paul
