Light removal, with connected neutral

[Roxdox1]

I'm looking to disconnect a two lights from a lighting circuit while leaving the main light connected. I can remove the second switched live to the two lights at the 2gang switch however the neutral is in a Jb under the floor boards somewhere.

Is it acceptable to leave the neutral, earth and disconnect live and cover over?

No. Neutral is a live conductor. It needs to be properly terminated and enclosed.

There are two issues here.
1-safely terminating and enclosing the cables where possible (Quickwire connectors sometimes can be handy for this)
2-ensuring that any remaining live cables are still within safe cable zones once the light fittings are removed. (If unsure google “safe cable zones”). If wall lights this can be hard to achieve but it’s important so someone doesn’t unexpectedly “find” the live cable in 20 years time.
