You have a lot of fairly high power appliances on one ring there. I would definitely makes some changes to that arrangement.

I did some amendments: split in 2 rings (top sockets and appliances separately from bottom ones) and split hob and cooker

Out of interest are you designing, installing and certifying this work yourself or will someone else be involved?

Someone else, but he already disagrees with you regarding the splitting of the ring c.
So

"Out of interest"

3rd opinion is always welcome. (4th as well))

Not sure your sparky is going to be too keen on you changing his design?

4th opinion from Screwfix forum: 2 rings not necessary, only recommended separate circuit for hot tap. He also thinks hob and oven can be together. Basically he is partially agrees with my local el-cian ( agrees on 1rc , but disagrees on oven/hob separation).
3 elcians – 3 different opinions

Personally I'd get another electrician to give you a quote and see what their opinion is.
