Thanks for the replies, maybe it's just particular to the Baumatic
brand - best avoided I then suppose !

I've just been researching hobs and stuff, and Neff state that a
worktop depth of 50mm is required when using an induction hob above
their series 2 and series 4 ovens (out of the ones I checked).

However, the induction hob itself details that there only needs to be a
30mm worktop depth above built-under ovens. Also, the series 1 oven
details don't mention any requirement at all, so this is ambigious to
say the least. It may be worth contacting the manufacturer to see if
they can give you more specific reasons for their stated requirements.
