Gas cooker clearances

Hello there,

Please see proposal to vary council's Improvement notice image 1
BS 6172 image 2
Manufacturer's installation manual image 3

The property is rented as being "safe, secure accommodation for the elderly", what standard should the LA officer be recommending. 

He says "I am removing the 300mm of worktop to either side of the cooker requirement. Whilst this is an ideal design standard, its main purpose is to prevent small children from grabbing pan handles and pulling from the hob."

What say you?


Thanks in advance

Here's the BS image again, I don't seem to be able to edit the origianl post.... it says 300mm. Cheers
