Hi all,
I have done some background research but I am still a little confused.
We have had Full Plans Approval for a 2 storey extension and kitchen extension (increasing size of the existing kitchen) from BC but I am confused as to who I can get to do the electrics.
If my understanding is correct a Part P (competent person register) need not notify BC before carrying out the work but does it through their registered body and issues a cert on completion.
Everyone else has (should) notify BC. Since we have notified BC and have had unconditional plans approval can I get a qualified spark who is not Part P to do the work, test, inspect etc and the issue an EIC? Will that comply with the requirement?
We are in Cherwell District and looking at their application for Full Plans approval all it asks is "Will you use a qualified electrician? Yes/No"
I can find no reference to Part P (competent person register) in their application form or in the supporting info they provide so presume that any qualified electrician meets the criteria.
Any pointers appreciated.
