    I didnt have anyone round to inspect my wood burner install I used a HETA installer who just fitted the metal plate to side of chimney

    If you have a HETAS installer you dont need the buildings control inspector as the HETAS installer is a "competent person" who can sign off the job, give you a certificate and data plate and the association then register the installation with your local authority. But the OP has done the work himself so in theory he should have the buildings inspector inspect and sign off the installation.

    I think I got a certificate and the plate thing but no inspection. Definitely hetas installer though as he is the only one in area and he is highly recommended by shop I used and he is independent from them

    As I said, if you have a HETAS installer, there is no need for the buildings control inspector. (Shame he didnt fix your plate to the utility box rather than on your chimney though.)
