Socket outlet and fitted furniture

Posted by Ed Rr, on Mon 10 Jun 2019 04:06pm

Is is acceptable practice and compliant with building regs to fit furniture permanently in front of (which would essentially block use of) a socket outlet that will never be used, rather than joining the cables and blanking? Thank you.
