It's possible but would need to know the total output of appliances.
And is it 30A/32A fuse/MCB and 30mA RCD?
You would be looking for less than 15kW output

THe RCD is okay and looks like the breaker for cooker circuit is 32A.
6mm cable providing no derating factors along route (thermal insulation, conduit, trunking, cable grouping).
Can carry a maximum of 47A.
Applying diversity would allow for 15kW of power from cooking appliance, this would draw about 30A which would also allow cooker isolator to have socket outlet on it.

No you can use a dual outlet plate from same circuit than oven.

The rules are open to interpretation and personally I would see no problem. However we have heard on this forum how some pedantic electricians working for high street retailers have refused to connect an appliance because they felt it did not comply. It would be very hard to say they were wrong and reclaim the payment which the paper work it says in non refundable should the installation not comply with current regulations.
So if you are paying some one to do the job explain to them what you have and see what they say.
It is the rules on items over 2kW and fixed should have a dedicated supply and clearly when supplying two items it's not dedicated. However this is in appendix 15 not the main part of the regulations and says "can generally be achieved by" not you must. As I have said to my mind to refuse because of this to connect is being pedantic but also can't say they are wrong.

Did not comply with their stated method of installing without having to think.
It would be very easy if they were.
Same answer.
Why? It just means not on the Ring Final Circuit.
Can you not be dedicated to your children if you have more than one.
To what are you replying?
PBoD has correctly answered the questions already.
A 40A device is okay, but bear in mind the cable route and de-rating factors, as it stands 6.0mm T&E will carry a Maximum of 47A, but this can quickly be reduced if the cable along it's route, is within insulation or conduit/trunking, and the type of fuse being used will be a factor, also if the cables length is extreme from CU to point of delivery, then voltage drop would be factored in.

The main thing is that you must not have a protective device fuse rating, higher than the safe current carrying capacity of the cable (this is determined by the correction factors linked to)
What you have in place at the moment is fine, providing no deratings of cable is required. If you were to run another cable over, I would then suggest using both existing and new cables, then each appliance (oven&hob) will have a dedicated supply.
