200 feet!!! Gee, over here that would be a massive distance, and you would probably own a mansion!

Many of our houses are TWO feet away from their neighbours, and a gap of 20 ft is..... very nice. :)

Some locations here do have restrictions on what you can do, but if one doesnt like them, you dont move into that estate.

If you are anywhere where there are no specific limitations, then you can do more-or-less what you like, although undue noise or making a public nuisance of yourelf may get you in legal trouble, if enough people complain.

As for cooking smelly foods, with the close proximity to neighbours one needs to have some consideration, but
I have never heard of it being a problem here.
