Cooker and sockets on the same RCD probably won't be as much as an issue regarding regulation set 314. I was thinking sockets and lights! What dunno about the 40A supply tho, is that big enough for I assume a kitchen socket circuit and a cooker?

i try to stay away from domestic electrics as much as possible but im amazed how many boards ive seen with a 30ma rcd up front protecting everything.
