Get that sink out the corner! No space for a horse shoe shape kitchen? How’s the rest of the room? Can you not do a full height wall of storage and appliances?

And again, presume not a good idea to put a dishwasher next to the oven (heat from oven damaging DW)?
I don't think this is really an issue, ovens don't radiate that much heat, they're designed to keep it in. Also, dishwashers get pretty hot on some settings.
I discussed it with a kitchen designer before who had put a fridge next to the oven and he said it's not really an issue.

Any rules on what appliances absolutely shouldn't go next to each other (from a 'you will regret that' sense).
We have a washing machine in a back utility room at the moment but in time I'd like to turn that into a wet room/shower.
So as we're looking at doing our kitchen at last I'm toying with bringing it in. I'm assuming it's not wise to put oven (double under counter) next to an integrated washing machine (am assuming our freestanding thing can even fit under the counter) - spinning cycles wrecking the oven is more of a concern than electrocution tbh.
And again, presume not a good idea to put a dishwasher next to the oven (heat from oven damaging DW)?
Can 'wet' things (sink/wm/dw) be easily put on a different wall to where the current water in/out is? Surely it's just a bit of extra piping? My FiL is sucking his teeth 'oh can't do that' and he may well be right, but I'd like someone who isn't him to confirm that.
We have an awkwardly placed low window which means that of a 5 meter long room we can only have approx 3m of worksurface so are looking at an L shape (3m x 2mish). Currently the oven (a range we're ditching in place of something narrower) and sink are on the 3m run and we don't have a dishwasher.
Struggling to see why I can't put the dishwasher (the narrower closed door in the attached first draft) in place of the bin on the left run and then swap around the washing machine and bin so the bin sits next to the oven?
