Converting storage room with mains in to toilet

Hi can anyone give me some advice on this. Ive been asked to convert a storeage room into a downstairs cloakroom for a diabled family member but the room contains the mains intake and meter for the property. Could this be boxed off or would it have to be moved?

No particular special requirements for a toilet in the wiring regs.
Because of the presence of water it would probably be a good idea to box it in but ensure it is still easily accessible, for both normal use and maintenance.

Thanks for that.
The room will contain a toilet and sink. I can get the db moved to the other side of a partition wall but the meter and dno fuse will still be in there.

Seen quite a few incomers in toilets before so wouldn't worry about it as the cost will probably be more than the job is worth. Also plenty under sinks in kitchens so wouldn't worry about moving anything if I was you.
