Irrespective of what building control have to say I quite like the idea of an extra toilet and, as the room space without it would be long and thin, I think it works quite well. There will obviously be a sink in the cloakroom but my copy of Visio didn’t have one small enough. The washing machine is in the corner of the toilet. I have seen this done before and it seems a good use of space and a I don't think people object to the principle of a washing machine (with a tumble drier above if required) in the cloakroom.
The cupboards on the left of the kitchen are wall level units on the floor with a cut back worktop on top. I have seen this done before and it also works quite well.
With a cloakroom
Without
The windows are in different places as I am expecting to move them around a bit to make the kitchen fit.
As before any comments (especially critical ones) are very welcome.

I think (if Building Control allow) that you should be working on saving costs and having the larger kitchen.
This saves cost of:
WC
plumbing
basin (not shown on your drawing)
studwork
plastering
door & door furniture
moving of the window
seperate light fitting
toilet roll
extractor fan
Many people would stop the kitchen short to allow a small dining table but that depends on the rest of the house design.
Install the downstairs loo. The old 2 doors between hob and loo rule disappeared years ago.
Try to put the door to the loo in nearer the middle of the wall - then you don't have to squeeze past the loo to get to the WM and also it would allow the half depth units to run the full length of the wall.
Half depth cupboards work well.
Could you post the rest of the plans online?
Also, what is the aspect?
It is possible to move the toliet but that will involve more expense.
I think I will wait and see how much more it will cost but moving it is a good idea. Ideally it might be better to move the toliet to the flank wall.
Just about to upload a full set of plans.
