My advice: Use your dining room for your table. I've looked at your kitchen layout and this is what I came up with: 1. about 35cm deep cabinet, 40cm wide 2. seating for 3 3. 90cm drawers 4. 60cm sink cabinet with pullout for trash 5. dishwasher 6. 90cm drawers (could add a 40cm wide upper cabinet above it for glasses and mugs, since this will probably be where your coffee maker will be) 7. 90cm drawers with 80cm induction cooktop and 90cm extractor hood (what kitchen style do you like?) 8. 50cm cabinet 9. tall cabinet with 102cm freezer and compact oven (with microwave function?) 10. tall cabinet with 178cm fridge And an extra window in the bedroom, because of the desk in that corner :)

Depends on how picky you are with cooking. Induction hobs are great for cleaning. You do need to note that the pan becomes your heating element. If you want the maximum performance from your induction hob, you need to match with high quality induction pans. I've personally used cheap supermarket induction pans vs £150 German pan, both the same shape and weight. The former takes 5 times longer to heat up than the latter. Please select a high quality German made induction hob.

Kitchen extraction is covered by part F of building regs so i'd ask building control for advice (and get it in writing) but looking at part F you need as minimum on a new build a 60 l/sec extractor if its remote or over the hob then a minimum of 30 l/sec. it also includes extraction in bathrooms, utility rooms, toilets etc. Haven't seen any exceptions for the type of house build or if the extraction is included in the MVHR system so you can get away with just a recirculating extractor so it would be interesting to update the post. The other consideration is with a large gas appliance, could this affect the oxygen levels in the room, an open fireplace over 5kw according to building regs require a dedicated air supply (air brick), so might be worthwhile speaking to either building control, gas safe or your gas safe engineer for advice.

I’m an avid cook and had a massive kitchen with two hobs which were never enough so I bought three plug-in induction hobs. I found that I used these much more than the normal hobs as I could cook in different parts of the kitchen as well as outside. I’m now having a house renovated and decided not to have a hob at all as I have limited workspace so I’ll be using my plug-in hobs for all my cooking which suits me just fine. My project manager and the kitchen fitter think this is completely off the wall but it’s something that’ll work for me so I’m going with it. I would hate to have a kitchen with limited workspace and what we would have with a normal hob would be pretty minuscule. It’s not for everyone but the plug-in hobs have been a complete game changer for me and I love the fact that I can stick them in a drawer when I’m done with them
