Make the benchtop 700mm deep and the problem gets worse. You could of course have the stove back against the wall but then the front of it is back 50-100mm from the cupboard doors. This isn't a problem of course if you have a cooktop with an underbench or wall oven. Island benches should be minimum of 900mm deep preferably 1000mm just for the extra legroom on the dining side. The distance between bench and island in my opinion shouldn't be less than 1200mm. We have friends who entertain a bit in a kitchen with 1000mm space and when there are two in the kitchen it is just that much more of a squeeze to get past especially if the oven or fridge door is open. I also know a couple of kitchen designers who both reckon no more than 1350mm between because then you have to take more than two steps ( something about the work efficiency triangle I suppose ). We're having 1300mm between ours with 1200mm at either end of the island bench. I guess it comes down to your space available and what you are comfortable with.
