Wording from the portal
"You will be required to give notice if you plan to excavate and construct foundations for a new structure within 3.0m of a neighbouring property or within 6.0m if the works will cut a line drawn downwards at 45° from the bottom of the neighbour’s foundation."
thats a bit different to simply excavating and the building regs definition of a structure wont apply to it as i understand it
