Is it not possible to pull the switch wire up into the attic/ceiling
void and then re-route it to the new location, or possibly just
disconnect the old wire and fit a new switch wire? I suppose if the old
wire is plastered in, it'd be difficult to remove it easily so there's
then the question of chopped-off dead cable left buried in wall to
frighten someone putting up shelves a few years hence...

It would be my prefered option, rather than leaving a bit of live wire
buried in some indeterminable part of the wall, probably unprotected.

Hwyl!
