My existing kitchen is being rewired? Would it need to comply with the number of sockets in the OSG in table H7?
My kitchen is small. Having 6 double sockets (plus cooker switches etc.) looks stupid and I would struggle to use half of them given. My interpretation is that these are just recommendations but other lower numbers could be installed if it can be justified. I'm not a spark though, so it would be good to hear whether this is the case or not. I'm in England btw.
While the reasoning behind it makes sense, I think some of the numbers are a load of rubbish, particularly the one for a small kitchen. In contrast, the number for a small garage (2) seems too low as you don't want trailing leads when people are using power tools etc. However, I guess it depends how people intend to use the room rather that setting some meaningless number.
