@duncs cheers - it's a more traditional approach to kitchen cabinet making to have the doors inset. The folks over at devol and other hand made kitchen makers still do it.
The previous one was integrated and retained the inset door, however it was misaligned so I wonder if that was the reason for it.
I'll see if neff do some sliding hinges as that would probably solve the issue, its only a couple of mm that is catching. I really don't want to plane the doors down and have an increased gap if I can solve it another way.

That looks a bit odd to me. Was the previous one integrated?
I would expect the door to overlap the cabinet (i.e. it'd sit outside the housing when closed, as would the rest of the doors in the kitchen) but yours looks like the door fits inside the cabinet. So when the door opens then it catches the side which stops it opening.
Either that or a slider so that the door moves as it opens?
Something like this
