Default stupid question: switches for oven, fan, dishwasher etc

I'm sure I know the answer, but I can't quite believe it.

On Site Guide says that things like ovens, dishwashers, fridges, fans
etc must have accessible isolation switches.

In our kitchen, each of these things (except the extractor fan!) will
be connected to its own out-of-the-way socket. Original plan was to
provide each socket with a 20A DP switch above the worktop, but most
of them will _never_ be switched off. So I'm going to end up with all
these switches above the worktops, spoiling the look of the place, and
giving my little darlings the opportunity to switch off things that
shouldn't be (like the fridge!).

The wiring (complete re-wire) will have to be inspected - is these
anything I can do that will still "pass", but won't leave at least
four unwanted switches visible?

The only one I actually _want_ is the fan - and that's already painful
enough with a FCU isolator (hoping to put this above a wall cabinet),
plus an accessible switch for manual override.

Cheers,
David.
