Here is the local 5 a side center that is built on a flood plain in Nottingham. Taken about 8 years ago.

I bet they didn't have all the DBs moved into the roof space.

...they should have! (I was jesting re: loft space...)

Building regs also say that CU's should not be readily accessible to children. I can see little johnny having a great time playing with all the shiny switches while "being a big boy".
Personally, I would tell them to put it slightly higher and enclose in a cupboard if I was buying the place. What you have photographed here is just ridiculous tbh.

sometimes the disability rules are taken too far,several years ago our house was remodernised by the council and they built a bathroom extension (single story) on the back.The door to bathroom is wide enough for a wheelchair as is door to garden and door into kitchen,door from kitchen to lounge is standard width so if we had a visitor who was in a wheelchair we would have to leave them in the garden or all sit in kitchen as they couldn,t get into lounge without leaving the wheelchair.Stupid or what?

Little Johnny AKA my son Carl had a great time when he found his way under the stairs back in the old days of Wylex plug in MCB’s. 2 eight way boards and 2 Crabtree RCD’s. 38 push buttons for him to play with, he was having a whale of a time. It was like a bloody disco with the lights flashing on and off.

The boards got moved soon after that, not because I wanted to, “she” issued the order!

Another “Carl” fix, I had to fit a push button on the side of the washing machine to enable the controls to stop him forever restarting it.
