Wall Cavity Wiring.

Zoomup
Good morning on this bright and sunny start,


                          Q. Which regulation(s) specifically prohibit(s) the installation of cables in brick and block cavity walls within the cavity?


in a, Older premises?


    b, Newer premises?


If regulations exist, what reasons are provided for the prohibition? Or are we just concerned about chemical damage of cable insulation if the cables are in contact with some types thermal insulation?

    @zoom - are you getting to the point that you consider there is no Regulation ?   What do building regs say about it though; I'm not totally familiar and perhaps being lemming like, I just followed what I thought I was told, that cables in cavities are a no-no - condensation, snags, insulation (current/future) etc...but nothing in BS7671 is what you are getting at ?
