You could, but then the fan only activates when the lights are on. Something that on a bright sunny Sunday brunch make shouldn't be necessary.

I'd suggest a switched fuse spur off the kitchen ring or a switched spur off the lighting LNE would be a better 'design' solution.

No doubt you are aware of Part P requirements
