I am doing a full plans extension. If I include the wiring in the building control application, do I have to produce some type of plans for the wiring or not. OR, will I have to do the wiring on a separate building notice ? I'm purposefully trying to get opinions on this before I "ask the BCO". Thanks, Simon.
I would not include wiring or plumbing, except for notes "to be decided on site in consultation with customer, and inspected to , and use brand of equipment.
There are a few rules with boiler ratings and stuff, with you can have a written note for.
The BCO is gonna care little, other than to check the right certs are completed at the end.
He will want to see Smoke Alarms and the like.
In "full plans" he is supposed to check what you send in is right, before you start building, so he will come back with questions if the detail is insufficient.

If the electrics are 'controlled' (ie, if they're in a kitchen or bathroom, or if you're installing a new circuit), and they are related to the extension, then it's included in the application.
A wiring diagram isn't required (as the BCO couldn't make head or tail of it), just a note on the plan to the effect that, "?All wiring and electrical work will be designed, installed, inspected and tested in accordance with the requirements of BS 7671, the IEE 16th edition wiring guidance and Building Regulation Part P (Electrical Safety). On completion of the works a copy of installers Electrical Installation Test Certificate, compliant with BS 7671, is to be provided to the client and Local Authority".
The message from Hugo Nebula contains these words:
Surely, that should be something along the lines of:
On completion of the works the Local Authority will arrange for testing and certification of the installation at no further expense to the householder. :-)
