Default Supplementary bonding/plastic pipes

Hi,

I have just had a new bathroom installed and have had a Periodic Inspection of my electrics at the request of Building Control (in relation to a new extension). The metal bath/taps/radiator are plumbed with plastic pipe/waste e.t.c. with the short visible pieces of pipe in metal. As my builder and I understand it, there is no need to provide supplementary bonding in this situation -is this correct?

The Inspector has written that this needs to be done but I have read an article from the IEE website clearly stsing that it shouldn't be done and that it could actually create increased danger if it were done.

Any help would be appreciated.
