You should keep a small distance between LV & SELV cables. If it is unavoidable they cross, they must do so at right angles.
Segregation is important if the SELV cables are not insulated to LV standards.
Why? Take a guess...

Garden gnomes can walk along the 12v cable, insulating them from everything whilst they chew through your mains voltage cables. The gnomes are only a few inches tall though, so keeping a gap between them will stop any toothy shenanigans.
