Electrically I don't see a problem. I'd avoid mounting cooking equipment above chest height for an average person because if you can't see clearly into the microwave there's a higher risk of burns when removing cooked food.

your there to install electrics safely not risk asses the whole property. If you start doing that youll never get anything done!

install a switched fuse outlet and hard wire the microwave into it.

Why? Just install a socket!

The appliance could still drop into a sink full of water even if it was on a sfcu. Whats stopping any other pluged in appliance dropping into the sink or someone running an extension into the bath. You can stop idiots, were not here to prevent idiocy just follow our guidelines and good practice
