Maximum demand calculation

Hi, 

I am trying to calculate a realistic and sensible maximum demand for a project:

Ring final (kitchen) - 32A (100%) 

Socket radial 1 - 20A 

Socket radial 2 - 20A 

Socket radial 3 - 20A 

Lighting 1 - 10A (2A) 

Lighting 2 - 10A 2A) 

EV charger (with load curtailment) - 40A 

Cooker - 15.3Kw = 10A + (30%) 16.95 = 27A. 

Can anyone advise what should be applied to the socket radials? These cover sockets on the ground and first floor of the property. I have allowed 100% of the kitchen ring, but what would be appropriate for the other radial socket circuits?

I am temped to treat them all as a single 32A ring circuit, and base this on the 40% value, equalling 12.8A.

Am I also safe to allow 40% for the kitchen ring, this allowing a maximum socket outlet value of 25.6A? 

Thanks.

    What colour is the cut-out? Black or grey?
