In the UK some flats/apartments have a shared laundry room. Typically they
put coin operated machines in it. Sometimes there are covenants in the title
documents that preclude you installing a washing machine in your own flat.
This is mainly done for noise reasons. It's not popular. Most people prefer
to have their own.
I'm not aware of any building codes/regulations in the UK that encourage
sharing of appliances. Ask your question here..

The UK Building Regulations can be found here..

As far as energy conservation goes the relevant section is "Part L".
Government policy is to gradually tighten up these building regulations. At
the same time they are attempting to encourage a the construction of a few
"zero carbon" towns with on-site generation of electricity etc. However it
looks likely the plans will be relaxed. I hear they are going to allow
carbon offsetting so these town can achieve zero carbon status by insulating
some other existing houses rather than generating all power on-site from
wind/solar.
