Can the isolator be in the loft above the ceiling ( ie next to the fan)?

Strictly speaking, no: as a motor isolator, it's supposed to be
accessible and if not within ready control of whoever's working on the
dreadfully dangereous arm-chopping motor, able to be locked off.

I would argue that if the fan itself is actually in the loft (i.e. it is
a ducted fan) then having the isolater there next to it is logical since
it is within ready control of the person working on the fan.
