I can see the likely problems with 3 x 32 plus a 6 amp so can draw a 100 amp, but the main isolator is rated 60 amp, I see nothing on the fuse to give size, if only a 60 amp fuse maybe OK, and can't read size of RCD, it is basic the same as my old house.
Your lucky he did not do the EICR and charge for a failure, but basic point is any EICR is the inspectors opinion.
As to lights
But it is up to the inspector, can't say he's wrong.

It is hard to fit down lights 0.5 meters from beams, in real terms with LED lights there is no problem, but it does not allow for that in my copy of BS 7671:2008, I would hope that has now changed, but would need holders which will not take quartz halogen bulbs, and they are a pain as the lamps with the L2 dimple are rare and expensive.Unless otherwise recommended by the manufacturer, a small spotlight or projector shall be installed at the following minimum distance from combustible materials:
(i) Rating up to 100 W 0.5 m
(ii) Over 100 and up to 300 W 0.8 m
(iii) Over 300 and up to 500 W 1.0 m
