Hob location
I am at the kitchen planning stage, and seem to recall that there
are limitations on fitting a hob beneath a window. As one wall of my kitchen is practically all window, this could be a problem. Does anybody have a link to the relevant rule (if there is one)? Chris -- Chris J Dixon Nottingham UK Have dancing shoes, will ceilidh. |

New one on me although I can foresee problems if it is necessary stretch over the hob when in use to open a window, or the fire risk in relation to window blinds being near a source of heat, or if the window has to be used as a fire exit in an upper floor room. Obviously food splashes onto a blind instead of a splashback or tiled wall is not ideal. |

Does anybody have a link to the relevant rule (if there is one)? Gas or electric? If it's gas there are rules on how close it is to combustible materials such as units mounted on the wall above which I guess (without digging out my CORGI crib sheet) would apply to blinds or curtains, but it's pretty much common sense really (FSVO common :-)) |
