And one more question . Is there anything to stop me running the hob in 3 phase even though I have 3 CU each on a different phase? I was intending having a 20 Amp MCB in each for the hob. The hob is split into 3 zones so I
assumed, rightly or wrongly , that this was permissible.

Wrongly.

You need to be able to isolate or switch off instantly at the same time.
Even more important is disconnection in the event of a fault.
 
to summise,

Yes you do need to be able to isolate the supply
reg. 464 + 537

also, being a hob that could start a fire if it were to overheat,
reg 465 would apply.

just to make life simple and easy, get a spark in and they will do all the worrying about compliance with the regs (30 seconds thinking time)
then put in a supply that is both safe and functional.
 
Diversity , you have never seen my missus cooking. The hob has a total of nearly 16kw of cooking area but the load is limited by the hob to 11kw so the total current could be around 50A so a 32A circuit not exactly ideal. Hence my wanting to spread it over 3 phases.
