Donna is brassic Harry she can't afford f*ck all Moving the gas and electrics into an adjacent cupboard is something she didn't want to hear when she joined up to diynot today.

In the old days you'd have a husband who knew dodgy Dave down the pub, now your a victim of 'progress' Donna. Sounds like you might be collecting a government pension at 70 years of age given the relentless need for progression.
As I surmised then. I wonder if the cooker outlet unit could be moved either down or over into the cupboard unit to the right of your oven.
You'll learn the ropes Donna if you pop in again. General discussion doesn't take any prisoners, it's a post more aligned to be put in plumbing and central heating.
Bosch. depth 548mm
Hotpoint. depth 551mm
Hoover. depth 567mm
Haaden. depth 550mm
Zanussi. depth 568mm
Lamona. 567mm
Depth of standard kitchen unit. (not including door) 575mm (howdens)
Depth of 15mm pipe mounted on bracket = 25-30 mm
Depth of oven is to the front surface of the oven, and will align flush with the doors or end panels either side so deduct 20mm from the oven dimensions to find the clearance.
There is a cutout at the top rear of the oven to allow for a gas feed to a hob, this may vary between manufacturers.
All the above manufacturers will fit comfortably if the pipe clip is below the oven and above the cutout at the top of the oven.
If you're looking for an oven that will fit pipework likely done 20 years ago, in units that may or may have not have some shaved off the back to allow for wall curvage, you are, in a word, f****d.

There's some confusion here perhaps. Electric oven, gas hob, right? So no rubber hoses unless the hob manufacturer allows it.
If your worktop's 600mm, perhaps you have the cupboards set back eating your clearance at the back?
If needs must then you could get the valve moved down the pipe and turned to the right below the level of the oven base, and then carry on with the gas pipe up the corner. I had a couple done in something like 10mm, ie a skinnier pipe, from the valve, which made it quicker to do as well.
Shouldn't take more than an hour anyway.
