hi all, having plans drawn for planning permission, we want to build over existing structure
( attached brick garage, tiled roof but single skin)10 years old. and buildt at same time as house was buildt by developer.
have dug down to expose existing foundation where garage meets house and its the same strip.
i havent yet exposed the internal foundation.
have been advised that its possible to dig down to expose existing garage internal
foundation then concrete in a new strip along side exisitng. to support proposed internal leaf of blocks.
is that feasible? it is something a diyer could do (after getting building control on site) for their approval.
existing foundation is approx 1200 below ground. and is approx 450mm thick.
