From an article I was just reading:
"British homes that face each other at the rear are required to be built 21 metres apart.
The 21-metre rule is, according to the Stirling prize-winning architect Annalie Riches, a bizarre hangover from 1902, originally intended to protect the modesty of Edwardian women. The urban designers Raymond Unwin and Barry Parker walked apart in a field until they could no longer see each otherâs nipples through their shirts. The two men measured the distance between them to be 70ft (21 metres), and this became the distance that is still used today, 120 years later, to dictate how far apart many British homes should be built."

The term âdaylight robberyâ came about because the government at the time started taxing houses based on the number of windows they had so people bricked up windows to swerve the tax, hence daylight robbery.
