Builders not wanting to zone house.

[Best]

Just ring the local building control and speak directly to a building inspector and ask them to drop in and speak to the builder about what they will allow re zones or no zones.
Tell the building inspector not to say who tipped building control off.
If builder was wrong, that’s his problem

they have stated that because the house had its planning permission granted in 1997. They are working to 1997 regs.

yes and the queen mother was born in 1900 so why don't they work to those? What matters is when the building notice was put in (or the full plans to building control). Just ask to see the conditional approval document issued by building control when the plans were submitted, check the date and the referenced plans. You should be able to look at a copy from building control directly, but they may charge.

I thought that planning permission only lasted for 3 years ....

Once the footing are In the ground and Inspected it remains in place, it can also be extended from the period of granting easily, once it comes up for renewal as long as it's before the expiry date.

Honeywell electronic TRV’s might be a good way around this.

just read up on these. Is the use of these an acceptable alternative to zoning by running two circuits. As each room is programmable?
