Do you have any photos?
I forgot to link to previous post which had it attached.
I won't spam it again but you can see it here...
https://www.lfgss.com/comments/16278337/i think the double socket in the alcove (on left side) was probably where the cooker control outlet was located and like you said was replaced to facilitate a hob (the bit of wood on the left also looks like a remnant of that). there's nothing on the right hand wall inside the chimney (i was sure i'd find one there when we went to measure up).
I've ordered a 30A cooker to be installed on 16th dec from AO, we get the keys on the 11th, will get a sparky in to take a look and if need be fix it before the oven arrives.
HatBeard-
It’s kinda hard to say without having a look.
Literally went and looked at a very similar situation in my mates place the other day - needing a supply for a 30a induction hob.The good news is that you have a proper cooker switch there, and a cooker circuit on your board (according to the EICR), so I’d assume that you have a sufficient supply cable to that cooker switch and socket, so should be pretty straightforward for the spark to sort out (providing that all is expected with regards to cabling).

Your cooker has its own circuit rated to 32a with a 6mm supply cable, which is on the EICR.
If there’s a cooker switch, it should have a “bullnose” to supply the cooker/whatever, which looks like a light switch with a blank cover on it (and a small gap at the bottom for the cable). A socket however is only rated to 13a. High amperage equipment is designed to be “hard wired” into its circuit rather than have a plug and socket.
Because the cooker has its own circuit, it won’t trip anything else out. They may have had an electric over and a gas hob - and gas hobs need a socket to power the ignition spark.
