Electricity Supply Relocation

Question

We are going to have our existing garage demolished to make way for a 2 story extension, however the incomming gas and electricity supplies and meters are in the garage and need to be relocated. I've need to apply to have the supply relocated, and the people I've had round so far seem a little lost as to where.

The current supply and meter are located on the left hand wall of the garage that will be demolished, right next to where the 'k' of kitchen is on the plans in the link below.  Once the supply has been moved we can then get the house rewired, the garage demolished, and the build started.  Any ideas where the new supply could go? Or clever ways of making life easy?  Many thanks

Yes you can relocate the supply to the outside of the building making a closed in closure space for the supply meter and consumer unit,which should resolve your relocation problems

We first have to get the electricity supply company notified since the electric supply cables beyond the 100A  incoming fuse does not belong to the customer. That's why in many cases, we have a seal on the supply system at this point. 
The new convenient position of energy entry into the premises will be the shortest distance from the supply transformer to the entry position of the house from supply main route. Shortest entry point to house avoiding excess volt drop in cables to keep within respective  ohmic value.

Hello sir.
I hope you are OK.
I would like to help you telling you some tips.
First of all you will need to see where you can put the new fuse board.
Most of the times you put the new fuse board down to the stairs or in utility room. Where you can have easy access to work and to test for future investigations.
After that you will need to call the electricity provider because you will need a longer swa cable due to relocation. Only the provider can change the swa cable.
If the circuits are long enough you won't to do rewiring otherwise you will need to.
About the gas circuit you will need to talk with an expert on gas because it is not part of part P(part p it only for electrical issues).
I hope I helped you. Have a nice day, Kostantinos
