Alongside a lot of other (non-electrical) work I'm considering running a spur from a socket in a bedroom into the loft. The spur will power a TV aerial amplifier PSU and be used on rare occasions for loft lighting. A double socket will suffice, or a FCU for the PSU and a single socket for lighting/other stuff whenever it's needed. 'Other stuff' would, most likely, be a cordless drill charger or other power tools if I happen to be doing a bit of work in the loft (unlikely but possible). There's no water up there so no possibility of ever having to thaw frozen pipes.
The loft is non-habitable. Due to its design it will never be habitable. It's floored out for storage only.
The ring main currently serves just under 100 sq.m. Adding the loft (if it's necessary to do that) will take it to about 150 sq. m.
So, if the non-habitable loft is not included in the calculation it's permissible. If it must be included the work is not permissible.
Any thoughts?
