Hi all,
I'm looking at the feasibility of building a single-storey side extension (marked in red on the sketch) on a property I don't yet own. It would be built well within 3m from neighbours garage and a retaining wall.
I believe the depth of foundations is likely to be an issue, and the presence of the retaining wall is leaving me a little confused.
Which of the following approaches would be correct?
Consider base of retaining wall foundations as foundation depth as side foundation of garage on upper side of wall would be supported by the wall and in turn its foundations.
Consider base of garage foundations as foundations depth.
thanks for reading.
