outside lamps and current regulations

New circuits whether they go outside or not, require notification.
Equipment fixed to the exterior of buildings such as lights, radon fans and air con do not require notification, unless there are outside connections (i.e. plugs and sockets), or the building is remote and cables have to be run across open space (i.e. underground, along a garden wall or fence or at height on a catenary wire).
 
You tell me?
The OP first indicated that they intended running the cables back to the CU.
I pointed out, that if the MCB was existing, there would be no requirement for notification.
However I did in a later post suggest that the OP extend the existing lighting circuit.
Obviously, if the OP intends installing a new circuit, it will have to be notified, even if they wait until April.
