Hi
I have a semi detached house and will be building a single storey and part two storey side extension. The extension will be built such that my house will now be 1 metre from my unattached neighbour.
I've looked through the Party Wall advice document and it says that I need a PWA agreement if I plan to build within 3 metres of my neighbours property AND if those foundations will go deeper than the neighbours foundations.
My BR drawings state that there will be a trench type foundation of MINIMUM depth 1 metre.
Now how am I supposed to know how deep my neighbour's foundations are? Even if I did what if the BR inspector asks for the foundations to be dug deeper once work starts?
Can anybody help?
Thanks[/b]
