hi i am a new member .im hoping to get some help.
we are building a rear single extension out of block ( with cavity ) and rendering it, its the whole width of the house and 3m out.
The boundary on the right drops down about a metre or so into the neighbours garden as the neighbours garden is at a level 1m or so below ours. .it is a concrete retaining wall thats not that thick.
This boundary is about 1m or so away from our house ( hence the entry leading up the side of our house )
I cant seem to find any information on digging my footings next to this drop,
how would it effect the depth of my footing if at all,? My gut feeling tells me it would effect the depth ..could anyone shed light on this i would be grateful
thanx
