Then you recommend one......ta da
It does not say that.
It says that where a risk assessment is not performed an SPD must be installed. With one exception, a single dwelling where the cost of installation outweighs the benefit.
So:
1: If a risk assessment is carried out then you follow whatever the conclusion of the risk assessment is. This does not constitute a recommendation, this is a clear yes or no decision based on calculated risk.
2:if a risk assessment is not carried out you fit an SPD (no mention of recommendation)
The exception to 2 is that IF it is a single
dwelling AND the total value of the equipment that would be protected does not justify the cost of installation then SPD protection may be omitted.
Again a clear yes/no decision based on calculation. This is not a recommendation.
Nothing in the regulations mentions recommendations for SPDs, the requirements are clear-cut yes/no decisions.

Not if the client says that they don't want one.....it's only a recommendation
If the client says they don't want one, then don't do the job and walk away.
As far as the regulations are concerned you do the job to the regulations or not at all, theres no picking and choosing which bits you want to comply with.
