I know this may sound a bit thick, but do I assume that I won't need to change anything on the cable modem? I can obviously change the FVS318 to a new IP address no problem, but I'm not sure whether it will rely upon another address on the other side of itself (which I can't see with IPCONFIG).

Just worried that if I move the 192.168.0.x addresses to 192.168.1.x I will lose my NTL connection.

The external ip will be issued by dhcp. Look in your router for the wan address.

this tool should help you

You cannot change the external ip of your modem as it is issued via dhcp and is not fixed on a residential service.
