Part M only applies to new buildings, so its not compulsory to have it as a certain height..... but the CU should be at a height which is 'readily accessible'. I take it you would have to extend the cables if you wanted to lower it? This shouldnt be a great hassle should it...

^^^^ Wot he said! My take is that you can replace to the original position if necessary/desirable.
