This really has nothing to do with temperature and everything to do with being told what to do and how to live your life. Not everybody needs and and not everybody wants it.

Baths will have to come fitted so that it's not possible to run the water hotter than a certain temperature!

I have had such a system on the past X shower mixers I have had any contact with for years; I can't see what the problem is with having them fitted to bath taps.

Some Dotty Mail readers will be outraged by any innovation, I expect that they would have been incensed when men started hanging animal hides in front of their caves to avoid freezing to death

If people want a bath at 60c, let them. We can eat their cooked flesh later so there's no waste.

Wonder when this new reg comes into force then as the hot water that comes out of my hot water tap in my bath is very very very hot. Same with all the hot water taps in my house. The only one that is different is the tap in the en-suite shower, to make it hotter you have to push a button and turn the dial more.

October 1st.

It won't affect anyone unless they are building/buying a new house or converting an existing building - pretty much anything that would require you seeking permission.

It's not something getting retrofitted.

It's been in place in Scotland for 2 years.

As Divine has said above, it will only be for new proposals.

Ridiculous as it may sound to some, it's not the daftest stuff I've heard coming from the planning lot; the LPA's I work 'with' frequently attempt to knock out new PPG/legislative applications on important areas that they have no qualifications, training or professional consultation on.

It is both tiresome and difficult.
