Thank you, that is something interesting. Does that mean when I chase the joining wall for new electrical sockets and cable runs that I need a PWA? Also does that mean the new extension I have built along the boundary is a shared wall?

Sorry for the double post. I am happy to change SE if anyone believes that may help, i am in the Leicestershire. thank you
