i am quite sure u r well aware that this is NON DIY AND
notifiable part p work 4 a part p reg sparky. see doc s projects.
sockets r usually at least 6 inches from work top ( 150 MM )
A MINIMUM DISTANCE of 12 inches from cooker hob ( 300MM)
NOT AWARE of distance for cooker and sockets but good idea to use dual boxes.
