AFAIK the definition of "bathroom" has nothing to do with it. It's
the distance between electrical and water fittings that's important
and covered by the regulations. There are precisely measured "zones"
around water fittings, and restrictions on what you can have
electrically within those zones.

And in a kitchen?

I'm no expert but AFAICS the perceived function of the space is of no
relevance. Electricity doesn't care what you call the room.

Then the same regs as regards water and electricity would apply in a
kitchen and bathroom equally.

Only if you have a bath or shower in the Kitchen!

Basically, in a small kitchen, no power points.

There are actually no mandated distances for power points from kitchen
sinks etc. There is a guideline in one of the supplementary books, that
suggests 300mm though.

(note also that kitchens are no longer "special locations" from the
point of view of Part P).
