Not in force yet, wire your house to comply with the 17th

Lol no!! I've allowed for a CU on each floor. Very big house! It'll save me alot of time and money running a few legs back to the CU to make it in to a ring. I might just wire them as radials.
Best idea ever. (If it's true). You are not looking at this correctly.
If the kids are not doing as they are told or spending too much time on their console you can isolate their room without affecting any other rooms. Everyone happy... Except for the kid who isn't doing as they are told..
What about the other circuits, lighting etc if it's a HMO?

As far as I've understood. It's true, unless someone can correct me.
Ive read the 18th draft and didn't see that one. Where did you see it Moaz?

Maybe I misunderstood. I'll check it tonight.
Where will you be checking tonight? Where did you see it originally?

Originally another spark mentioned it. And a few weeks later, I heard someone else mention it too. I've not checked the draft myself, but I need to now.

not true.
But we will have to take into account earth leakage when designing circuits.
Not sure how to do this!
Tell you 'em you spoke to me, and I said it ain't true.
See how easy it is to make these things up
Is it a HMO dwelling?
Yes I have that as well no mention regarding the OPs post as far as I can see

Its unbelievable but due to be in the 18th
Be interesting to hear how the IET and scams think installation designs comply or don't comply.
Would have been far better if they had simply stated
"RCBO's for socket circuits"
Anyway Moaz wire it how you like. You know the property and it's layout.
Just be aware of you cable lengths and do your calcs...and you may need to do 4mm radials if the property is that big..
R1+Rn (which you can get from Onsite guide)multipled by the rating of fuse you want to use multipled by the correction factor of 1.2 (70c)
Simple job done.

not if there are seperate CU's on each floor, depends how big the "floor" is though, it might be 10 small box rooms or david camerons house
Your right it could be very small
but the OP is the one who's been there I think Moaz said it was large, he didn't say if the DB on each floor was at the middle or the end of the house. So who knows how long the radial could end up being.

House of multiple occupancy
i.e. where a property is let out "by room" and the landlord lives else where .................
