Can anyone tell me what the building regs say about the closeness of
new building to each other, i.e. houses.

On a building site close to where I live, I was amazed to see two
houses side by side and at the eaves, the gap between each house was
approximately 9 inches.

Don't think the building regs worry - it's more a planning issue and as
TwoJags wants more houses per acre this sort of nonsense will happen. Of
course sensible thing would have been to fill the 9" with insulating foam
and seal at both ends but semis don't sell as well as detached, do they.


Would there be any be reason why two neighbours couldn't do this?


Curiuous thought. I believe you are allowed to build up to the party
line...so in theory filling the gap is just about that isn;t it?
