Wall socket relocation lower than it is

[DPG]

I understand rules and their importantce, but shouldn't I be able to move the plug wherever I want as long as it is safe for it to be moved, without damaging wiring?

Indeed. Nothing wrong with a socket behind a TV. It's a very common thing to do.

I don't really want it behind TV. I want it about 200-250mm from floor level, behind a TV unit.

Sorry, yeah I see. Same principle though, i wouldn't worry about it.

you can fit the socket wherever you want it, having regard to safe zones and eliminating possible damage to flexes etc. the regs. are made by the IET, not the Gestapo. ( you vill NOT be shot at dawn).
