To consider no heating on laudry room

We're refurbishing our downstairs and will have a laudry room with washer, Tumble drier and clothes hanging/airing space.
We are adding an extractor fan to it, so that the air flows as there I'll always be a lot of clothes drying (DH and kids play sports and there are lots of muddy clothes needed washing etc)
The rest of the downstairs will have underfloor heating.
I'm considering not having any heating in the laudry room (no window there, door closes into the rest of the house). DH thinks we should add a radiator there to help drying clothes with the heat.
What do people think?
YABU- heating is needed
YANBU- no heating

Are you planning to mostly use tumble dryer or air drying? If air drying you will need both heater and de-humidifier. Otherwise you'll just be stuck with mouldy smelly clothes.

I don’t have heating in mine -which was a deliberate choice- but I do run a dehumidifier when there’s washing on the go

I’d have a radiator or be prepared to run a dehumidifier. I have an unheated utility and stuff takes a while to dry- especially as the newer tumble driers don’t give out heat like the old condenser ones did.

In my opinion yabu, based on my own experience.
It definitely helps us to dry things quicker!
