Making two properites into one

Afternoon all,

An MOD client wishes to form one large property from two semi-detached properties, keeping both consumer units. I have looked through the latest BS 7671 for any glaring regs that are going to stop this from happening, and can only see the separation distance regulation that must be applied. Obviously am trying to persuade them that it would be better to have only one source of  supply into the property and hence only one consumer unit. Has anybody else come across this in their line of work and if so how did they get over it to maintain compliance with BS7671?


thanks in advance.

    BS 7671 wouldn't prohibit two supplies into a facility - provide the earthing was common


    If they are DNO supplies, they won't be happy however


    If they are MOD private supplies, then I would just put a 16mm2 copper conductor between the earth bars of the two consumer units and crack on with a warning label advising of two supplies.
