The distance between a footing basically depends upon how the architect wants the columns to be placed based on it the structural consultants does his design and spacing is arrived.

However, since you are asking for the minimum distance between a footing then one should make sure that the angle of repose of both the adjoining footing should not overlap.

Secondly, ensure that the SBC for all footings of a particular building should be same.

A clear space of one footing width for square footings and two-footing widths for continuous footings should usually be safe minimum distance.
