Would anything forbid me from combining the clothes washer socket and kitchen dishwasher to a single circuit & MCB?

But nothing in the regs? The load of the washer is 2200 watts with a built in heater and the dishwasher coming in at around 2000 watts. My plan is 2.5mm2 wire and a 20amp MCB. Washer will be plug and socket while the dishwasher will be hard wired, however that can be changed to a socket if regs forbid it.
What recommendation is made for appliances over 2k?
Nothing? Unless you install dedicated circuits for the likes of toasters, kettles etc. 3kw is the general cut off, although doesn't stop a tumble dryer being plugged in anywhere!What recommendation is made for appliances over 2k?
and then that's that little factor known as diversity.

What regs are in America?
Have a look in your OSG.How would diversity be calculated? I can see both on at the same time... or not at full power long enough?
you can only estimate. even if they are both on at the same time, they will not always both be on heat cycle, and even then, it's only 18A (assuming you have a 240V supply, not 120V).How would diversity be calculated? I can see both on at the same time... or not at full power long enough?
