Eh?
Are you saying that the BCO told you that you can install a bend within your run of uPVC drainage and omit the IC, or do you mean that you're going to try to bend a length of uPVC pipe to fit the project?
I'm having difficulty understanding what you mean with so little information.

the bco told that i did not need an IC as you can bend pvc pipe. I thinnk he meant to bend it not put a bend in the run. this is about a 8 mtr run. I guess it will only ben at joints and as it's quite a bend i assume that i would have to put a joint in at about 2 mtr intervals so it will probably cost similare to a mini access chamber.

You can bend uPVC pipes, but not by much!
However, if the BCO will accept a bent pipe rather than an access chamber, then so be it. If we're only talking about a bend of a few degrees, then there woun't be a problem, but anything more than about 10-15 degrees would be better done with a true bend, with or without an access fitting.
