The club champs, schools, counties, northerns etc. are not run under IAAF rules. The UKA rules differ from the IAAF in their recovery times:
Rule 115 states:
The following minimum times must be allowed between the last heat of the round and the first heat of the subsequent round or final.
Up to 100 metres - 20 mins
Over 100 and up to 200 metres - 40 mins
Over 200 and up to 400 metres - 60 mins
Over 400 and up to 800 metres - 80 mins
Over 800 metres - 100 mins
So may be its not ideal running heats and finals of the 1500m on the same day but it is not in breach of the rules.
