Should I have to cut the waste to get a fitted toilet in?

[rusky]

The current waste is cast iron.

I can't find the required dimensions on any product detail as to where the new toilet waste needs to be.
The end of the white bit of pipe is about 350mm from the wall.

Depends on the design of your new toilet. All the loos i've looked at online have all the dimensions you require to fit..it is very likely you'll have to lose that elbow unless you want the loo sticking out into the room.

If you really must have a braided flexi then at least replace it, same with the pan connector.

Well, there's no pan connector there so that's a given!

Looks like one on the mobile phone screen.

Looking at it on a bigger screen, I'd say that's a Lead thimble in the end of the cast JP.

Rusky, I'd have a look for the WC you like, and get the dimensions you need, (these should be available online), and work from that. Distances vary between pans.

I'm looking at something like this https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/hudson-reed-600x355mm-gloss-grey-full-depth-wc-unit

The existing pipe is going to come roughly flush with the front of the unit, I can't see on the toilet (https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/premier-harmony-back-to-wall-pan-with-soft-close-seat-nch306 ) Where the toilet spigot comes to.

I had a plumber round to look at the shower & he said not to touch the cast iron pipe. From what I've read, it can be cut without disturbing the rest of the soil stack.

I'd offer up the unit and see what you have to play with. A back to the wall pan usually has a spigot that is just about flush to the back of the pan so you may have to cut the lead back flush to the knuckle and use a straight pan connector but can see it really being an issue.
