I think you might be mixing up Part P (of the Building Regulations):
And the notification requirements (clause 12(6) of the Building Regs):
And the guidance documents: http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/BR_PDF_AD_P_2013.pdf
Part P applies to all inscope work not just work that is notifiable under Clause 12(6) and Part P does not say you need to comply with BS7671. The approved Doc (guidance on how to meet Part P of the Building Regs) references it as one way of complying but states that it is only one way and that BS7671 may exceed the Builds Regs requirements in some areas.
