Kitchen design help open plan or not?

Hi all, we have been arguing about the kitchen renovation for a long time.
Picture 1. We need to add in a pantry cupboard (very very necessary) and are thinking of claiming space from adjacent room by straightening the wall. This will then become a scullery and pantry area.
But squeezing a pantry and a fridge is getting tricky.

Picture 2. We are thinking of knocking down the wall between the kitchen and dining…but the builder has advised otherwise. According to him, the kitchen island will be too crowded. Will it? And should we rather leave it as a separate kitchen and dining space?

    A floor layout with dimensions would help to understand the space you are working with properly.

    I can’t help but think a shallow, wide, and tall pantry could be put against the angled wall in picture 1, without the need to get into building works.
