Change surface mounted socket

Hi there. The worktop sockets in my kitchen are surface mounted. We are having a new kitchen fitted and I would like the sockets to be flush, i.e inset into the brick.

New Stairs

Planning Permission Still Valid?

7 years ago planning permission was granted for a 2 storey extension to a house. However only the first storey was ever built. Is the planning permisison for the second storey still valid? I've heard planning permission expires after 5 years but if you've "started building" then the permis...
