Re: Bathroom pod?

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pete,

Assuming by "pod" you mean a pre-fab room complete with walls
&
ceiling, wiring & piping pre-plumbed etc... how would you get the pod
inside the house? Ages ago the BBC "Dreamhouse" at BRE craned-in
a
complete bathroom, but that was during the construction process...

If you don't need BR or listed building consent to put the toilet etc
in an existing room, do you have to make the en-suite a separate room
in itself? i.e. just create a screening wall  (not full height, no
door) within the existing bedroom. Something a bit like these ?
