Interesting, in the UK, they recommend 10ft from a building but this is purely a recommendation and I don’t believe there is any hard and fast rule in place.

You guys don't have some sort of national fire council that issues recommendations? In the US, we have the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) that issues recommendations as they are not law makers. Basically, every state/city adopts those recommendations as building code.

Edit 1. I apologize I was wrong. The NFPA is a global organization. I've only interacted with NFPA for certs and building codes. I didn't realize they do more than just the US.
