Government confirms changes to Part P Building Regs

[Keefy]

Something I just came across on the HVPMag website:

The government has amended Part P of the Building Regulations for England. The main change to Part P will reduce the amount of electrical installation work that is notifable, and which is legally required to display compliance with the Building Regulations.

Under the new changes, electrical work carried out in kitchens, or outdoors, is no longer covered by Part P unless a new circuit is required... Full article.

That's a bit annoying for all those who are part p qualified. But for me, it's alright

And I'll still have to pay a ridiculous amount! Part P requires a lot of reworking if it'll ever mean anything to anybody
