I cant agree with some of that. As you say the regs are there to ensure safety and the location of cookers should be covered although its not at present.Building regualtions are there to ensure safety in buildings, that they stand up, save energy, general health of the public and that buildigns are suitable for everyone.
They aren't there to encourage good design. If a kitchen is badly laid out, its the designers fault. And also the fault of who ever agree to the plans (normally the client).
There is always a safety issue with regards to using a cooker especially if its located close to a door. The regs for example dictate the distance the stairs have to be from the swing of a door so as to prevent some poor soul from having the snout knocked off them yet the people responsible for the regs didnt see the need to apply the same rules in relation to someone lifting a pot of boiling water for example from a cooker and run the risk of being hit with a "flying" door where the kid runs in and pushes the door fully open without thinking.
The height of a letterbox is covered in the regs to help postie avoid lumber strain.
Point taken of course in relation to the kitchen layout/design but really and truly designers should be restricted by way of regulations.

...I'm afraid I disagree. This would end up restricting design, and given the level of regulation in society generally, and how it's arrived at, then you'd find the exception may (inadvertently) become the rule, and common sense would go out the window.Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

Just when I see you posting I forgot to answer a PM you sent - apologies. I'll do that now in a few minutes.
When I said designers should be limited by regulations I meant (A) there should be regulations governing the location of a cooker (being the topic at hand) and (B) "designers" would be the likes of the kitchen suppliers or indeed anyone doing a layout for a kitchen.
If building regs were to include details of cooker locations then it certainly wouldnt stifle design.
I dont necessarily agree with all the building regulations but they are there for a reason and any regulations that are in force to accommodate and promote safety are always more than welcome.
No prob - got the PM -forgotten I'd sent one !
If it was to be regulated, only in the loosest form: say, like the stairs - not withing x of a door, or something. It's bad enough we have 1000's of houses that look alike outside - we don't want that inside, as well ! Ode To The Motorist

Glad we agreed on that point.I'm not sure If i agree.
I agree that it should be located away from doors and everything else regarding safety.
As I said its just my own personal opinion and the point above regarding the cooker/door situation is the most important one.
Wouldn't be the case at all. Perhaps rephrasing or clarifying my opinion to state that there should be some regulation or other on where not to put a cooker would leave things a lot simpler :cool:It's bad enough we have 1000's of houses that look alike outside - we don't want that inside, as well !0 -
