[are these exits too close?]

Assuming travel distances are OK the two exits would have to meet the 45 degree rule where if they are closer than 45 degrees apart they are counted as a single door. 

However as your plan shows the exits separated by construction then as long as the partition was full height to 30 minutes fire resistance you could count them as two exits for escape capacity purposes

 

 

 

thanks for the info , in both your opinions if i go for option 2 and  have the orange opening  in the second picture   would I be better to  have a door or just leave it as an opening

[are these exits too close?]

hi there

we are currently  in the process of building a bar in an industrial unit and i'm trying do work out where to place things. would option 2(the second pic0 meet fire regs? both doors would be 870mm wide and open out into a private outdoor area. (the orange opening would be  870 wide and wouldn't have a door)

other info - the unit is 15m deep and 8 meters wide,
