Will the temperature around the cable reach or exceed 70 degrees at any point?

2.5mm cable will be fine.Ta - figured as much.
Almost there, just a query about lead installation from oven to wall FCU...
-2300W / 230v = 10Amps current expected through the electric oven lead at max.
-Understand that 2.5mm T&E does 24Amps circa (but not sure about unburied).
-Fuse in FCU would need to be 13Amps
If I have some spare 2.5mm T&E - this going to be okay for unburied oven lead to FCU?
Should I go for 4mm if unburied?
(BEKO manuals are flippin' useless and googlin is ambiguous).

So how are you going to connect this 2.5 cable.Oven Wiring - https://photos.app.goo.gl/7QLDMB6tawSqNdtB8
Switched FCU's under counter next to gas plumbing - one for hob (I assume) other on right side for current gas oven.
Yes, correct, in fact they used some balloon thing to stop the gas coming out before the shut out valve, so they could replace the shut of valve with a new one.By the sounds of it they had to turn the gas off to repair something to do with the meter or the supply to it.
Apparently suppliers (British Gas) etc accept small leaks as long as there is no smell of gas (I think 8millibars depending on the meter in the house) - Cadent have permittable levels of a small gas leaks (as long as there is no smell of gas) as well, but in this instance they seem to have ignored their own operation procedures and just capped off all the gas to the house.they will not be able to turn the gas to the property back on if there is a leak, unfortunately you are going to need the services of a gas safe registered plumber to find and repair the fault(s) within your house.
Got the gas turned back already by calling out an independent gas engineer (he was shocked by what they did as well).I think a chat with a good independent gas fitter would be the best place to start.
they are going to be in a far better position to advise than a bunch of electricians.

Just was curious if anyone in this forum knew about the dark arts of Cadent. There was massive consequences to them cutting gas off on Christmas eve when there are elderly and vulnerable people in the house that could not stay at other people's houses due to Covid risks - and have no heating, no hob, no hot water. Terrible thing for them to do and think I should pursue it - so it does not happen to anyone else.

Like poor electrical connectionsDifficult to say without knowing the full story, but imagine the headlines if they switched the supply back on when there was a leak, and something went wrong.
"Safe" is ambiguous, so there is an Operating manual which was ignored.
