I'm hoping some of you can clarify something for Me. A bit of background, I am qualified to BS7671 and have a background in electrical design within industry. I am not a domestic electrician and hence my question regarding Part P relating to a job at home.
I had a shed at my property which I pulled down and replaced with a garage. The shed had a supply which came from a B32 breaker (RCD protected). Feeding some T&E which leaves the house and threads up the garden through the hedge (!!) to a JB in the shed which fed a lamp and a double socket.
I've designed new final radials for a new lamp and a couple of sockets from a sub board and 4mm SWA feeding back to the house. Happy with all of that.
I'm then planning to terminate the SWA in a new J/B inside the house and connect to the existing B32 using the existing 4mm T&E which looks ok. Then grab the Megger from work and perform the relevant tests and complete the Installation Condition report.
My question is around peoples views on whether this is a 'new circuit' and notifiable under Part P; which is the part I cannot do. I'm currently giving myself arguments either way so require some better experienced folk to make sense of it.
Thanks in advance.
