Kitchen wiring

Appreciate the responses.

Quick recap:

Very small kitchen, 2 double sockets is enough
Extractor hood on lighting circuit. Never seen that, good idea if allowed
Cooker isolator under worktop in adjacent cupboard, I read its allowed so long as its in the upper section above the cupboard's contents.
Hob and oven, share connector unit, got it
Fridge/freezer plug is off to the side. Appreciate the consideration.

I think that's it?

So no DW/WM/TD?

Until I read that I was going to suggest

It's allowed anywhere.
No requirement to even have a local isolator for it. Could be switched off at the consumer unit in the event of that needing to be done.

millions of homes are still without RCD protection

Homes that have not been upgraded is different from actively choosing to not have a protective device in a new installation.

The idea of the mcb is you protect the food

So the freezer goes faulty, someone grabs the door handle and is electrocuted.
But that's OK because some food wasn't spoiled.

True but I much prefer the 2m from the cooking appliances approach and not too difficult to find in haste if required .

If we takes the Regs as the bottom line of what we musr do then anything we consider better than the regs state to comply must usually be desireable surely?
