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.

    My only experience of this, and I was wearing my plumber's sou'wester at the time so wasn't involved electrically, is that our DNO (SSE) insisted that there be only the one supply to the newly joined properties so a beefy sub main was installed to the second property's CU.

    Personally speaking, apart from the two standing charges, I think two separate supplies into one dwelling is simply inviting trouble.
