I think that running it off a proper 13A switched and fused spur is
within the regs (but John or Adam will be along in a minute to correct
me).


I'd try and avoid the 13 A fuse, passing 13 A for a reasonable amount
of time it's going to get warm if not hot... A 20 A DP switched
connection unit and 2.5 mm fixed and flexiable wiring through out
with a 16 A MCB would be fine and if a radial from the CU how it
ought to be installed anyway.
