Making two properites into one

Rob Bain
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.

    What is the relevance of MOD please?

     



    They tend to be a law unto themselves.


    Some years ago the MOD announced they were building a new a Territorial Army HQ slap bang in the middle of Worcester, the council said they did not want it built and would not give planning permission for it, however the MOD did  not need to take any notice of the council and didn’t need to apply for planning permission.


    So it was built, eventually after twenty odd years an agreement was reached that the perfectly sound modern building would be demolished to make space for new shops, there is now a Sports Direct in its place and the TA have moved into a refurbished Victorian vinegar brewery that was there all the time.


    Rather a waste of time and money when viewed with hindsight, but that’s how it goes.
