[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 535758, member: 6969"] It is a Scottish building regs distance. No 1, is the building still subject to BR inspection or has it already been signed off? If signed off, ignore it, nobody is going to look, let alone notice or care. Alternatively the distances are for "general purpose" sockets. Make it a dedicated function and it is exempt, this is what allows you to have sockets high up a wall dedicated to a wall mounted television. If not yet signed off but that is iminent, wait until after sign off and fit the socket. Most self builders end up with a "to do after sign off" list for just this reason. [/QUOTE]
