I have an existing "cooker point" mounted close to an electric oven. We are having a new kitchen fitted and the oven will be sited further away. Obviously I don't want to resite the supply point unless absolutely necessary so my question is is there any regulation governing the length cable can be between the c/p and the oven, please?

There isn't actually a regualtion, ( other than limits such as Zs / voltdrop ).......
But the On-Site Guide does suggest that the switch should be within 2m of the appliance, but not directly above it. {pg 184 Paragraph H4)
Clearly a switch could be within 2m of a cooker, but the cable connecting the two may be longer due to its routing around the kitchen furniture!

H4 Cooker circuits in household and similar premises
The circuit supplies a control switch or a cooker unit complying with BS 4177, which may incorporate a socket-outlet.
The rating of the circuit is determined by the assessment of the current demand of the cooking appliance(s), and cooker control unit socket-outlet if any, in accordance with Table A1 of Appendix A. A 30 or 32 A circuit is usually appropriate for household or similar cookers of rating up to 15 kW.
A circuit of rating exceeding 15 A but not exceeding 50 A may supply two or more cooking appliances where these are installed in one room. The control switch or cooker control unit should be placed within 2 m of the appliance, but not directly above it. Where two stationary cooking appliances are installed in one room, one switch may be used to control both appliances provided that neither appliance is more than 2 m from the switch. Attention is drawn to the need to provide selective (discriminative) operation of protective devices as stated in Regulation 536.2.

Liking is probably too strong a word.
It still has many faults, parts do not work. Offline access is not possible on an ipad unless you access it via a "special "platform that the IET have to give you access to. It is getting better, but has a long way to go until I stop sending them my daily/weekly emails
It is still carp,on a PC as well
Just saying
