Surely these diagrams do show that stud walls make all the difference?
My tumble dryer and washing machine are approx where the red X is here. If there was no partition, they'd be zone 2, but they're not because it measures from the edge of the partition (minus thickness of partition), not through it

I'm pretty sure the zones ignore stud walls as the diagrams show circles through nearby walls, but perhaps a thicker wall would be fine? Might depend on which officer you get as I don't remember it being particularly detailed around treatment of corners/obstructions...
Edit: Complete stud walls would be fine, the diagrams I was thinking of are for incomplete dividers in bathrooms (which don't really affect things). 2018 BS-7671 example attached.
