Extractor Hood Ducting and Building Regs

[jonny55]

Hello all,

I have tried searching for this everywhere but cant find the answer. I wanted to know if, according to building regs, the cooker hood ducting has to go out of the nearest external wall? I plan on having an extractor hood with an external motor so instead of it coming out of the extension roof (where it is close to my upstairs rear bedroom and neighbours property), I would have it come out on the other side of my house away from everyone. Is this possible or is it against building regs?

Thanks in advance,
Jonny

The requirement is that a new kitchen needs mechanical extract to the external air.

There is nothing specific regarding cooker hoods or duct.
