Anything is possible whether it is correct or not is another matter
Question is will the total load on the circuit be more than the rating of the breaker ?

Better off getting one of these:

But you will need to ask and answer a number of questions before you proceed.

Any thoughts on what you're going to do if the oven requires a circuit fused at less than the cooker circuit you'll be connecting the hob to, but more than 13A?
Hi,
Some information about the oven. Don't know a great deal about
previous cooker. outlet has a thick grey wire.
HOTPOINT BD31 PLR Power/Ratings: 120V, 60Hz/1.67kW, 14.5 Amps. Safety Compliance: FCC, DHHS
If it is too much chew I will go back to s standard cooker.
All I want is hot food.
Thanks,
Baz.

You cannot use that here. It is American Voltage/ sinewave .
We use 230VAC, 50HZ.

Need to be more definitive than that. One person's thick is my perception of thin.
Why have you got a US oven in the UK?
Sorry everyone.
It is a HOTPOINT BD31 double oven. I just pulled the spec from the web.
I don't have the manual. It has previously been used in the UK.
The hob is new, the oven came with a second hand kitchen, from the UK not the USA. I will look see if I can find a label on the oven.

Isn't this an American sold hob as well?
You will need to check the plate on this as well.
Either way the answer to the primary question is NO isn't it?
Even if the oven is 3kW adding this to a 40A hob will not have been predicted by the original circuit designer, surely?
Appendix 15, BS7671:2008
".......ovens and hobs with a power rating exceeding 2kW on their own dedicated radial circuit"

Yes, but do note that page is a RECOMMENDATION on ONE of the ways of reducing the load on a ring final in the NEW regs. It isn't carved in stone.
-but it is a good idea!
An indirect solution to the problem, agreed and apologies. But
Reg 314.3
"The number of final circuits required....shall.. facilitate compliance with.. Chapter 43 for overcurrent protection, Section 537 for isolation and switching and Chapter 52 as regards current carrying capacities"
The answer to his question is still No
