socket in a bathroom... yes....

[mr smith]

Doors (if the cupboard has a door, but without a door it would be an alcove) limit the extent of a room containing a bath or shower so the socket is not in the bathroom but in a small area off the bathroom, a bit like having a socket on the wall just outside the bathroom door.

and that is waaaay beyond my understanding of both the building code and also the regs , but a great answer. cheers

I am just pushing at the limits of what may be assumed, 701.32.1 specifies that the location can be effectively limited by walls, doors and windows.
Whether this can be applied to a cupboard door is debatable.

As this example clearly shows, not only should you put the sockets above the sink, but install the light switch at a slightly different level to give a rustic look

Professional fitted furniture fitters are probably robustly debating that very question over a pint somewhere now!
