Also remember that it’s not just Part P that you need to comply to but also BS 7671 - the wiring regulations.

Legally speaking Part P only says that electrical installations need to be reasonably safe.
All of the specifics that follow (including BS 7671) are essentially hints and tips on how that might be achieved, but strictly speaking none of it is required. A bit like the Highway Code.
ETA: The definition of notifiable work is also legally binding.

Thanks.
I am careful to not do any notifiable work when I shouldn't and I read the regulations carefully to make sure I don't, even with plumbing and other building work I have done myself, so ideally I would have installed a CU if the wording in Part P didn't include installation of a CU!
