Accessible toilet in new build extension? If you want to know how your DIY projects could be affected by building and planning regulations, click here to post questions and view answers

I am due to have an extension built and my architect is insistent that the toilet will need to have an accessible doorway and the door open outwards. I have been trying to search for building regs but cannot find anything. Is this correct, in my private dwelling do I have to have an accessible downstairs toilet even though every other doorway would mean that a wheelchair user cannot get through them?

Thanks
