Not so much regulated, different utilities have different depths as specified by the NJUG (National Joint Utilities Group). These are not enforceable by law but most DNO's and mains suppliers of Gas follow those by the letter of the law. Telecoms has always been a bit hit and miss but generally all operators try and abide by the suggested depths to prevent future issues with trespass/damage.
There are still many examples to this day of utilities not being installed to recommended depths, even gas mains and LV/HV electric as well.
