Do these count?

If not in kitchen/bathroom you're still allowed to do this type of
work, subject to comptency and regs e.g. the spur must feed direct from
the ring or from an already fused spur.

Or is it just a major rewiring, involving new ring circuits?

Essentially yes.

See the documents from the ODPM website, they're fairly readable ...

Yes, do. The ONLY authoritative source about Part P, is Part P itself,
including all amendments to date.

Original:
http://www.odpm.gov.uk/stellent/grou...nts/page/odpm_

Amendments (tnx, Andy):
http://www.odpm.gov.uk/stellent/grou...nts/page/odpm_
breg_033693.pdf

The ODPM are too idle to produce a version that includes the most recent
amendments, so there's another DIY job for us to do...

Much as we'd all like to try, any attempts to summarise or rationalise
the actual content of Part P into a newsgroup message are doomed to
fail. So please, let's all download it, and then talk about what it
*actually* says.
