I am sure the regs exist somewhere but I want to see them for myself.
I haven't located the regulations, but there does seem to a safety guideline of 30 cm of worktop either side of the hob - the space will permit pan and pan handle movement.
Additionally, there appears to be an exclusion zone that extends over the hob and a further 50 cm horizontally in every direction along the work surface, and upwards for 76 cm. In this zone, there may be no combustible materials.
In my kitchen, I have 60 cm to the left of the hob, 80 cm to the right and 84 cm to the extractor hood.
