Crack on you're well within your rights. Just be safe when you're working with the electricity.
edit :- Suddenly thought you might need to be careful when you move 15cm you might need a bit more cable than you currently have. No diagonal runs of wire, ever, anywhere. If you know where the cable is coming from and you're just shortening it by 15cm, no problem.

Got a surface mounted double socket plug box on my chimney breast that I'd like to move about 15cm and recess. How legit is it for me to dig out approx 15mm of brick out to do this? Do I need any permission or sign offs to do this?
On a party wall chimney breast in case that makes any difference.
