From reading plenty of posts on here and seeing material elsewhere, as far as I am aware, my kitchen is not a special location for Part P purposes.
I'm not having a bath, shower, sauna or swimming pool fitted in there.
However, the NIC domestic installer I had in for a estimate yesterday insisted that it was a special location and the radiator and sink would require supplementary equipotential bonding, run back to to the main bonding point next to the meter.
Surely he is just confused by paragrpah 2 of the notification requirements as listed in Ban's Part P reference thread:

Just because kitchens and special locations both have to be notified does not mean the requirements are the same? From reading other posts, I was under the impression that bonding the kitchen sink is in fact not considered good practice anymore.
