I'm not sure but I think cooker control units have to be visible; they
certainly should be within 2m of the cooker.

You can cut down on the number of switches by wiring as a radial circuit and
having a gridswitch panel with a number of 20A DP switches on one faceplate.

Bear in mind that double 13A sockets are not rated at 26A, and if you
concentrate oven/dishwasher/washer you may have an unacceptably uneven
distribution of load around the ring.

If the boiler is connected by plug and socket it must be an unswitched
socket. This is to ensure the plug is pulled to provide DP isolation.
