Pete,

My understanding of it was that any domestic supply has to be certified by
a
person deemed competent to inspect to the set standards. Until recently I
understood this was only affect from the faceplate back, so any plug point,
spur or switch back to the fuse panel in whatever form. However it would
now
appear that there some "grey" areas.

If you are inhabiting the building as a domestic dwelling then it will fall
under the jurisdiction of Part P, end of story. If your kitchen has
electricity in it then it will fall under the remit of Part P, open plan or
not. Part P is not about where or the layout of the property, other rules
apply there, Part P is about ensuring that the actual wiring of the house
meets the required standards and is verified as such.
