Can anyone tell me what the building regs say about the closeness of
new building to each other, i.e. houses.
buildings can be very close together, see "Semi Detached" or "Terraced"
believe it or not people live in such structures!
....and they continually complain about neighbour's noise, much worse in
new
properties I believe.

Any gap has got to be far better than being attached to another dwelling.


Not necessarily. As with heat, there are materials with better resistance
to sound transmission than open air. Why they don't use them in modern
flats and terraces is one of those great mysteries of life best left to
architects to explain.

Accountants.

And what do accountants use as a contraceptive ?





Their personalities. :-))
