We are planning a new kitchen, want a gas hob, and the current location of
the proposed window may be quite close to where the gas hob ends up.
I have Googled and found so much contradictory information I thought I would
start a spirited discussion a.k.a. argument here.

There are claims that a gas hob should be a minimu of 300mm from anything
flammable, including UPVC windows.
Logically you wouldn't put the hob directly in front of a window for all
sorts of reasons including draughts, cooking splashes on the glass, risk of
reaching over the hob to the cill or an opener, setting fire to curtains (if
you have them)....however alongside a window looks feasible.

So are there strict Gas Safe rules, are there guidelines, or is it just
"common sense"?
Or none of the above?

Cheers
