Kitchens and outdoor locations were removed as special locations in 2013. They haven’t been added back have they?
grams-
You know, they have been. Just bathrooms now.
Tell you what, the regs are getting more and more difficult to keep up with. I could swear that they keep adding updates just to keep the book sales at a healthy level.

Outdoor lighting installations and locations containing a bath or shower are special locations, kitchens aren’t - as far I can see from my book.

Yes. Kitchens are special locations so any electrical work is a pain in the arse
Special Locations are a entire Chapter in the Regs. There are some very specific rules about them.
You can do it yourself, which is what I'd do, but you need to inform the local council, get permission and get them to get another Part P electrian to sign the work off.
Yet there are 3 day Part P Kitchen Fitter courses.
I spent 3 years doing my C&G.
Can you tell I'm well fucked off about this?
