I think Napit might be a little more lenient with their requirements after a 2nd conversation on the phone though its down to the assessor on the day not the person on the phone. Hoping that a supply from the main cu to a shed / garage with a cu & couple of circuits will suffice.
slightly harder to pass? how many cu's have 2 extra ways that someone wants 2 extra circuits added I'd find a 4 leaf clover before that happens.
