To join in (very) late:

Are you absolutely set on a 900 wide hob?

ISTM that it would be nice to have, running along the 'bottom' wall"

Space between wall and hob (0.5), Hob (1), Dishwasher (1), 1.5-2bowl
sink with drainer extending over corner (3), where the numbers in
brackets are 600mm unit widths and give a total of 5.5, which I think
is what you have available.
If you could stand a slimline dishwasher, that would also increase your
options

Washing machine to go where plinth heater won't be.

Unfortunately, this puts the sink just offset from the window, and
would muck up your overhead cupboard plan. It also might mean you had
to have a normal boring right-angle in the corner instead of a swish
modern cut-corner. Not sure. Its late. I don't suppose you could
move/enlarge the window so that it balanced the sink better? (Or is it
just me that likes to look out of the window while at the sink...)


For a really off-the-wall idea... could you have the dishwasher and or
washing machine UNDER the hob?? Hobs don't seem to need to extend below
the thickness of the work surface. Probably against the rules.

Must go to bed.

Funny what a nights sleep will do... I had an alternative idea
sometime during the night which might suit (and which I think is much
better):

Can you put the _hob_ where the sink currently is? [I vaguely recollect
that I may even have seen ones that are specifically designed to fit
into this kind of space.] You then have room for a full double bowl
sink with a drainer (if you want one) extending away from the hob. The
dishwasher can go under the drainer (under where the hob now lives) and
there should still be space for the washing machine next to it. Or the
washing machine could stay at the plinth heater position.

Nice though a full size double-bowl sink is, a 1.5bowl sink might
actually fit better as it would give you a chunk of space between the
hob and the first sink bowl.
