Intended 6*3 garage build would need removing soil nigh on 1 mrt high just to get to ground level. That would entail also building a garden wall. I'm ok doing that on the side with a path but at the rear can I put anything inbetween blocks and soil to prevent damp.Thanks

Thank you. Any thoughts on insulation. I'm thinking damp proof membrane between blocks and stud frame infilled with loft insulation? Covered with?

First I take it building garage with blocks laid on flat side is easier then on edge? Also is this better insulation than inner wood frame with insulation of some kind. (Part of the garage would be a small room. Thanks

Under Building Notice I'm Intending to side attach garage (just under 5 mtrs long by 3 mrts wide) to bungalow. I want flat roof under eaves. As it's under eaves how would garage roof rafters fit to bungalow wall that would satisfy Build Control. Thanks
