Lilly, there aren't any specific regulations as to door sizes. It's quite common to fit a standard 2'3" (27") door. Yours is still perfectly usable though.

Don't forget you'll need an extractor fan in the utility.
You do ? I don't have one in mine, although the tumble drier has it's own outlet through the wall. No window either.
Yes, it's been a requirement for many years, OG. 30 litres per second extraction to be accurate.

Perhaps yours was built before this came out.
No idea; it was there when I bought the place. I'm thinking it may have just been ignored. Was all supposed to be above board though according to my surveyor & solicitor.

All I have in there are the washing machine & tumble drier, some shelving, and a load of stuff that needs to go to the tip :-). Unsure what benefit a cold draft would add.
Substitution in place of warmer but far more moisture-laden air already in the room, OG.
Personally I'm an advocate of "better out than in" when it comes to moist air from internal home activities (excluding breathing).
