mylogic for that would be numpties using kettles, toasters etc. on the drainer where the kettle steam would affect the socket, or appliance get splashed from sink.Part M only applies to new builds where the prospective occupiers are unknown.
As for being 300mm from a draining board, what is the reason for that?
I can understand being 300mm from a basin so that the socket doesn’t get splashed.

So troubled, I rang NHBC to enquire about their amendment of guidance in 2016, i.e. why & where from? They said it was more realistic, and from consultation with their members and partners?
I also rang Elecsa, who said it was still 300mm yada yada. I've emailed Electrical Safety First, to see if they can sink this one with a counter work top argument.
