Socket heights in old house

[the pict]

Yep I bought a new hone once some years back went ot see it at the first fix stage to let them know where I wanted the sockets, pendants, switch drops etc jeez what a job I had, one track mind "but it says on the plans" and " I dont think the lads will be happy about" mind you I was talking to the chap in the white hard hat, once I got hold of the foreman spark it was a piece of cake " no prob" quick brew in the site hut, a red pen, a couple of jokes about 30 somethings just outa uni with more degrees than a protractor and it was sorted all electrical gubbins went into the corners where the Doris wanted them without extension leads and the kitchen stuff went where you can actually reach the plugs without the help of a 12 year old ukrainiane gymnast

Depending on the height above the flooring i would class it as
C3 Socket mounted in such a position as to result in potential damage to socket,plug or flex

well i don't know about anyone else but my local building control dont have the first idea about electrics, they know all about foundation , lintel bearings, block pillar specs, roof pitches, drain depths and routes, damp course layers, timber sizes, vapour barriers, insulation thickness etc as i see them all the time doing inspections on them, but when it comes to electrics they never seen them ask anything apart from "part p cert?"
i think if i asked them to sign off some notifiable work they would just say "get an approved part p spark in"
