I don't think that's allowed. The 'Part P testing' has to be part of
the standard building regs charges, they can't add anything extra. A
number of uk.d-i-y posters have pointed this out to councils who have
tried to charge them and the councils have backed down.

Are you sure you have this right?

You won't get any electrician to carry out your testing, for Part P
certification, without making a charge.

I think you mean that the Building Regulations inspection fee, should be
based on the total cost of construction, less the cost of the
self-certification works, such as Part P electrical?
