Decided to change where the washing machine goes. This I hope will also save about €1000 euros in labour and construction costs. Amazing that just re-positioning the washing machine can save this amount of money.
In the old plan the hallway wardrobe was going to be split into two separate cupboards. One becoming the new hallway wardrobe and the other going into the bathroom with the bottom part housing the washing machine. All this chopping and changing of the wardrobe amounted to about €1000 euros. So changing it will save about €1000.
And I think doesn't look that bad.

This is the old layout with the washing machine in the revamped cupboard.
And this is the proposed new layout. I think it looks better.

This other picture just gives an idea of spacing between toilet and sink. plenty of room.
Its always a worry when planning things that you will get the spacing wrong. No matter how many CGI models and plans you do, sometimes a bit of cardboard cut out to the right shape and laid out on the ground will give you a better idea.
Photos below are showing the process I went through before coming up with the newer shower screen . Good old cardboard boxes.
