I dont see any issue here either,

I know Im in Scotland, so not Part P per say, but number of years ago. I carried out work on my own house, I notified the local authority, who initially said I must be a member of a registered scheme etc etc, till I pointed out what the actual statutory regs indicated that if the person that is to do the work and certify it notifies the local authority first, then pays a fee ( if applied by the authority) then the local authority deals with it. They still hesitated when I said I was likley better qualified than some local contractors and why would I engage somebody else to do work in my home when I can equal or even have a better install than they were looking for, so eventually they saw sense.

Officer came out, looked at the installation and completion cert compliant with BS7671 at that time, said he had never seen such a high quality install in a detached garage before, asked what quals I had? and I told him, ended up he didnt ask any further questions, in fact said he didnt need to return as he knew my install was compliant. Ended up chatting all things electrical over a cup of tea, and was never charged for the application.

I can understand many local authorities not wanting to go down that route, but you dont need to be a meber of a scheme either.
