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)?

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.

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 :-))

Yes, it's the one called common sense.

Sounds like an app for metal slat venetians.

Or perhaps one could make a curtain out of a fire blanket or 2, then
it would perhaps be launderable.

Wasn't common sense banned by Parliament? ;-)
