The OP asked if his proposal was compliant, no it is not. Sockets outlets for households shall be shuttered according to BS7671 unless you can show me a clause for 553.1.201 which says different.
EN 60309-2 socket outlets can be used for EV chargers in non-domestic installations according to the Code of Practice.
Now if you want to install one of these sockets in a dwelling I don't really care that is your perogative but for the purpose of this thread and which has been repeated on other threads it would not be compliant. No doubt you will still want to get the last word in.
