But the new boiler has a bypass loop, so if all the rads are TRVed and shut off, the pump will keep running with the flow going through the bypass until the hall thermostat shuts it off. But the council refuses to accept that, despite it being in the handbook, so no hallway TRV.

The conclusion I've come to, is that my hallway radiator is too big. It's bigger than the living room one. That might be ok for a house where you would be heating the stairway and upper landing, but in a bungalow it heats up too quickly compared to the living room.
