I've read about the regulations regarding gas hobs and their proximity to kitchen cupboards, but are there any regulations/recommendations regarding electric hobs and how near/far to site them from your cupboards?

NO!! basically!!Consult the manufacturers fitting instructions, or use your common sense!!

Lilly,

As a rule of thumb, it is, in my opinion, best to adhere to regulations relating to gas hobs purely from a safety aspect. However, clearances below an extractor are clearly given in the manufacturers instructions.
