Can install a fullsize dishwasher on the kitchen worktop which has adequate support? The space next to the sink is already taken by the washing machine which is just below the worktop in question.
I want to know if there are any dangers as I am quite all right with the height the dishwasher will be placed.

I see no issue with what you propose EXCEPT that you will need to be sure and loop the DW discharge hose up as high as the top of the DW before running the discharge hose down and connecting it to the drain. In this way, the DW cannot drain by gravity and empty the DW during a wash cycle... ;)

Also, remember that the lever arm of the DW with the door open and fully loaded with dishes will far exceed the weight of the dishes, so be sure to secure the DW VERY well!!
