Your attention is drawn to the following Building Regulations advice which will need to be adhered to: Sound Insulation & Building Regulations The resistance to the passage of sound in buildings must comply with Approved Document E of the building regulations which sets out standards for the resistance to airborne sound and impact sound between and within dwellings.  Approved Documents E covers:-Separating walls, floors & associated flanking transmissions for new buildings-Internal walls, floors & stairs for new buildings-Dwelling houses & flats formed by a material change of use-Rooms for residential purposes-Common internal parts of buildings containing flats or rooms for residential purposes . Approve Document E states that it is good practice to consider the layout of rooms in separate dwellings at the design stage to avoid placing noise sensitive rooms next to rooms in which noise is generated eg not situating living areas or kitchens above or next to bedrooms.  This will reduce the likelihood of future complaints about impact noise.
