Don't have access to the regs at the moment but does anyone know of any wiring regulation that prohibits a hob being connected to a built in oven? Assume that the cable from the cooker outlet to the oven is rated for at least the combined load and the that the combined load is within the rating for the dedicated cooker circuit. Also that the teminals in the oven will take the combined current.

assuming your assumptions are correct, I can see no reason why it's not permissible.
One of these is often easier, though.

The Bosch induction hob I bought about a year ago allowed one to set the maximum current it would draw from the supply.
Thanks. Undoubtedly a twin outlet would be easier, but the reason the original electrician installed it the way it was is that the cooker outlet is slightly behind the adjacent cabinet and he probably thought that removing the cabinet to get access was too much trouble.
I was wondering if this was specifically excluded by the regs.
If the cooker outlet has screw terminals and is inaccessible for inspection that would be a contravention of the regs.
(Some older cooker outlet plates are just a cable clamp for a straight-through cable, most nowadays are connection points with terminals.)
