A socket or cooker panel located directly above a cooker hob or freestanding cooker should be repositioned for two reasons.
A) The unit itself or any equipment plugged into it would be exposed to an external heat influence with the possibility of fire.
B) Any person within reason operating either a cooker switch or associated socket point could be at risk of burns or injury as a result of reaching over the heat source to operate the unit.
Application of appropriate regs within the 17th edition will clarify the above points.

Reg 522.2.1 is a reasonable one to apply.
This again shows how crxp the regs are written.
Dec 56! No ones know it all and this is what a forum here for advice. I've coded it a code 3 but just what a pointer in the correct direction for a reg number. Thanks for all the response! Dave
