I am having an extension built on the back of my house which was going
to involve moving my combi boiler to a new outside wall. I have since
discovered that the flue can be extended and I don't need to.

Given that I applied to building regs with the moved boiler on the
plans, do I need to reapply if I don't go ahead and move it? I'll hvae
a qulaified gas fitter do the flue extension

Thanks

Provided the cost of the extended flue is less than the cost of installing
the new boiler then in theory no. At worse you'll have to pay the £96 min
charge.

If a qualified gas fitter is doing the flue extension, then he/she will sign
off any building control exemption, so this shouldn't come up.

You will have applied for an extension, and the boiler may have been
one of the items considered. Unless any alteration substantially
increases the size of the extension, or is for something not connected
with the extension (ie, adding a bathroom elsewhere in the building),
then it can be treated as a minor alteration and probably won't need
amended plans (but check with your BCO first).
