Apologies OP; I've tried to upload a copy of the relevant pages from EGBR or copy & paste, but I'm just getting an error message. I'll try again later.

Although as OP's not looked here since posting, don't think I'll bother

NHBC guidance is from the basin only and not the drainer
Take that how you will.....

That is interesting, I wonder where they have that guidance from. Anyone a copy of the EGBR A3 edition (4th edition)?

So troubled, I rang NHBC to enquire about their amendment of guidance in 2016, i.e. why & where from? They said it was more realistic, and from consultation with their members and partners?

I also rang Elecsa, who said it was still 300mm yada yada. I've emailed Electrical Safety First, to see if they can sink this one with a counter work top argument.

I've had a bit of a boring day

It's great that you've followed up. I get depressed (rather too easily) at how often there is a lack of consistency in often very simple things.
