Are you sure this applies to Wales? I am reasonably sure electrical work in a kitchen and in the garden are still considered as special areas in Wales?Only notifiable if it is within the zones of a bath/shower room - i.e. the electrics are within 600mm of a bath or shower which they probably won't be.
Here is the law - note it lists things which are NOT notifiable so everything else is.
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/2214/schedule/4/made
See 2a and definitions in 4.
It would seem your bathroom plan is wrong for Wales. It saysApproved document P 2006 incorporating 2010 amendment said:Additional notes
Tables 1 and 2 above give the general rules for determining whether or not electrical installation work is notifiable. The rules are based on the risk of fire and injury and what is practicable. The following notes provide additional guidance and specific examples:
a. Notifiable jobs include new circuits back to the consumer unit, and extensions to circuits in kitchens and special locations (bathrooms, etc) and associated with special installations (garden lighting and power installations, etc).
b. Replacement, repair and maintenance jobs are generally not notifiable, even if carried out in a kitchen or special location or associated with a special installation.
c. Consumer unit replacements are, however, notifiable.
d. In large bathrooms, the location containing a bath or shower is defined by the walls of the bathroom.
e. Conservatories and attached garages are not special locations. Work in them is therefore not notifiable unless it involves the installation of a new circuit or the extension of a circuit in a kitchen or special location or associated with a special installation.
f. Detached garages and sheds are not special locations. Work within them is notifiable only if it involves new outdoor wiring.
I looked for Welsh law, could not find anything which says the law you have linked to is Welsh, as far as I am aware in Wales the law was not altered from the original, the original was written before we were writing our own laws, but the amendment was after so the amendment did not apply to Wales.Yes certain.
The definitions of a special location are different in BS 7671.
The definition in BR Schedule 4 section 4 applies.
Look at the actual law in my link; not what someone has needlessly written in an unnecessary approved document.
I looked for Welsh law, could not find anything which says the law you have linked to is Welsh
so it could cause problems if not complying with Welsh law.but guests will be in that en-suite,
