Is that ^ stopcock only turning off one tap?

What's common practice/ regs in terms of power for these, does the switch have to be above work surface? Might end up quite close to the sink if so.
A method of isolation needs to be obvious. You can put the socket underneath and put a labelled double pole isolation switch above (preferably with a neon light).
Although the regs don't give a minimum distance from the edge of sinks to electrical switches or sockets NICEIC recommends not less than 300mm, ideally not less than 1000mm.

Kitchen mostly stripped out, electrician in tomorrow. Decided to scrap the old units as too much hassle to renovate. Think I'm going to put the sink over a 600 wide unit in front of the opening there with a slim dishwasher to the left. What's common practice/ regs in terms of power for these, does the switch have to be above work surface? Might end up quite close to the sink if so.
Also found the stop cock for my mystery tap that's unaffected by the other one. Anyone got a bright idea of how to create neat a service hatch through vinyl?
