[QUOTE="green-hornet, post: 72567, member: 2683"] The 300mm rule we all mention is I am afraid a myth in the overall interpretations of the "guidance". It is well noted that kitchens that are far too small, it would be impossible to provide the amount of socket outlets, and indeed the required, or should I say recomended distances from other services like water and gas. There is however a requirement that states suitable for use in that environment. So providing the socket outlet is "splashproof" it could be placed directly over the sink, with no further restrictions on its use. However I would not suggest for one minute that you do that!
