Alternatively circuits layout could be designed appropriately for an individual property.

I like the cut of your jibBad practice, in my opinion. I wire a downstairs room with the rooms above it. Uses less cable and allows power upstairs and down even if a circuit is out of operation. Tht power may not be in the room you require it, but it won't be far away.

The circuit protective conductor (CPC) is used to provide protection from electric shock and to allow sufficient current to flow, so the protective devices can trip.Which is correct.
So you think I said insulation. I can see where the confusion lies now. No, that's not it's sole purpose.The circuit protective conductor (CPC) is used to provide protection from electric shock and to allow sufficient current to flow, so the protective devices can trip.
How can you say its sole job is to react when there is a fault in the insulation, when it's obviously not its SOLE job. ?????
You actually said "who's sole purpose is to detect a breach of the dielectric barrier within the run of cable"So you think I said insulation. I can see where the confusion lies now. No, that's not it's sole purpose.
I've done this, but not over two floorsTend to label socket circuits by compass points, such as "sockets E", "sockets N" , etc. If it's a posh house, then "sockets N wing", etc.
For upstairs lights, I usually wire all the bedrooms on one lighting circuit, and landing and any passage lights on another. That way, you either have light in the room or just outside it.Nine times out of ten, if I had the opportunity I would wire lights to each room on each floor on separate circuits, but this was in the day of incandescent bulbs that would trip a MCB when they blew, saved the whole ground floor/first going into darkness.
