Sockets in a shower room

Hi guys.   I have a large shower room although possibly not quite large enough.  A washing machine with a tumble dryer are to be stacked in the oposite corner to the shower cubical.  I have wired it so that the two appliances can be isolated outside the room and was going to fit two flex outlet plates as the position of them would be literally 6 inches inside 3 meters from the shower screen.  In reality both will be inaccessible behind the machines.  Fitting outlets makes it a pain for the customer should they need to be removed at any stage and difficult for me to try and connect the top one as well.  


In the general section of section 701 it says fixed partitions can be taken into account to limit locations.   What are your thoughts on fitting 2 single sockets behind the appliances, they are not accessible. A type of open cupboard is being constructed with no door so the front of appliances is permanently accessible but sides and back are not.

    Fit the outlet plates. The sockets you wish to fit may not be accessible when you leave the property but the house could be sold 3 months down the line, what will the sockets be used for then ?
