davezawadi (David Stone):
Ask the Building Inspector about this inter-floor insulation. I have never seen it. Keep asking until he shows you the regulation which requires it.
David, it is all in Part E. Although it seems rather onanistic, there are good reasons for it. For example, at one stage Daughter and her beau had a semi-basement flat in Town. Unfortunately, every little tinkle, splash, and flush from the loo in the landlady's flat above was audible. ?
I note what you say above about acoustic insulation. I have not yet found a value for its U value, but presumably it is a little less than that of thermal insulation. In the meantime, provided that cables are kept to the edges, I think that IM 100# is the best that we can do.
