[Closed] Electricians / Plumbers / kitchen fitters help please

As some of you might remember I am still doing up a flat. Almost finished but a mate today told me I couldn't have the sink next to the hob which is a pain as thats how I have planned it and there really is nowhere else for both to go due to space constraints. I can't find any regulation on this just that its best practice to have at least 300mm between the hob and sink ( electric hob) Trouble is If I move the hob over it will then be too close to the upright fridge which is surely worse? The hob has to go in a run of worktop of 1000mm sink one side, tall fridge the other. If I put it in the middle then I only have 200mm each side - not enough to put a pot down or do anything useful. Butt it up close to the sink which works best for the extractor and I have 350mm between the hob and the fridge. Put it 300mm from the sink its then only 100mm from the tall fridge Any clues anyone?

Update
In the end the guy signing off the electrical and fire certificates passed it fine. I have warned the tenants to be cautious, they are not bothered at all.

Ruddy certificate guy found a few other issues for me to fix tho but at least gave me 6 months to fix them
