However, I don't see what you are getting at with your comment.

Which comment? Elucidate and we will expand.

Locking up.....

I was under the impression that fan circuits would be run as a spur
from the upstairs ring. I guess I'm basing that assumption on a
previous house I owned where I know that was the arrangement (and I
didn't wire that property, it must have been before the 16th ed came
out).

Could you please explain what is wrong with running a fan circuit as a
spur from the upstairs ring? I would assume from a technical
standpoint that providing it is properly fused (that is, minimum fuse
rating - 3A?) and appropriate cabling is employed then it would meet
the requirements of the 16th edition regs. Having got my 16th edition
regs certificate earlier this year I'm wondering what I've missed!

Always willing to learn....
