And this alone calls into question the reliability and knowledge of the inspector

Again, did they quote a reg number to back up this C2?
I wish I’d put my smokes and a separate circuit at home. Every time I turn the lighting circuits off to add another crappy light fitting she’s bought I get a text telling me the power is off, it annoys me...
 
No there was 4 x items which had no Reg number, one of the other items was smoke alarms on a light circuit and was given a C2! Very weird
 
Is the buried cable mechanically protected from the type of damage it could reasonably be subjected to? If yes, no code, if no, C2.

I'd argue for example that if a non-armoured cable was buried 600mm deep in a garden in a robust duct that would deter a hefty blow from a shovel then the regulations have been complied with and there is no potential danger, however in a car park, where it's likely at some point there will be a 360 digger poking around in the ground, then the regulations likely haven't been complied with and this cable does pose a potential danger.
