Yeah, doesn’t surprise me regs change, but not being able to have a normal socket in zone 2 was the point I was making.
Sounds like the deal breaker is the socket.

Yep, a normal socket would still need to be 3m from water sources (old reg), but a fused spur for a washing machine needs to be outside Zone 2.
There's a not-so-good work around involving passing cable through a zone 2 wall and then mounting the switch to the other side of the stud. Not ideal!
2018 BS-7671 for zone restrictions attached.

This is out of date.
The only electrics you can have in zone 2 would be SELV (low voltage). Think fans, shaving sockets, etc.
