House Extension Boundary Limits??

This is not strictly money saving although it might be if I don't end up applying for planning permision.
I have a semi detached house and I am looking to extend around the rear and free side of the house. The only issue is that there is a public path down the side of the house that i want to extend and it is only 1.35m from the existing building.
Does anyone know if there are any building regulations in relation to a set distance from a boundary.
If anyone can provide some advice it would be appreciated.
