    EPS Good Price

    I imagine it will be eps beads, no idea on price but it does not seem too bad. Don't worry you won't get damp and it does not expand.

    Cement mix using additional pea gravel

    You'll be fine with pea gravel in the mix, it will move and level easier as the aggregate is smaller. It will be a weaker mix but as it's a base for a patio it'll be fine.

    Blocks in floor

    It is not an EPS insulated floor like Tetris it'll just be either thermalite type blocks or light concrete. 530mm is the size of a closer block. If you have AAC blocks your floor will have a u value of around 0.6-0.5

    Wall design for rear extension to maximise space

    Each to your their own James, but that addon you linked to is not really in keeping with any elements around it, it has a slate roof etc it just looks stuck on. But if that's what you are going for.... I am going to presume those stars are replacing the word 'standard'.

    Removing a block from wall, and refitting.

    How long have you let it sit for to dry out? With the weather it should not take long. Make sure it's water causing the damp and not a stain on the brick work.

    Rough cost of replacing old rendering

    If it is just condensation then that one step will solve your problem. Might be worth getting a cheap hygrometer and keeping a log over a month. One other thing is to check the render at the bottom where it meets the exposed brick work. I have seen quite a few houses where the water catches the...
