if anyone can give some advice I would be really grateful. We had plans drawn up to convert the conservatory into the kitchen as a garden room; the conservatory is at the back of the house and on made up ground. We were planning to have a gable roof - the conservatory is a dog leg to clear an upstairs window with the existing plastic gable, but the plans took just over a year to be finished by which point it wasn’t viable financially to have a fully tiled gable roof. We then decided to square off the dog leg and have a flat roof, which gives more room and is cheaper, but now really coming unstuck with how to proceed. Building control want an engineer to sign off on the existing foundations but that isn’t going to happen as they are only 30 cm and I just don’t know what to do next. The original plans involved steels at each corner going down to made up ground so I don’t know if I could tweak those plans to make it square with a flat roof, or if I should do what one engineer suggested and just knock the whole thing down and start again with proper foundations (which doesn’t sound a cheap option!), whether I need to get quotes from builders to see the best option or if I should go back to building control before I do that?! They haven’t been out yet but I have paid them half and they looked at a photo of a test hole which is when they said they wanted a ‘pad check’ from an engineer. Or should I just get plans done? I did speak to an engineer (the one who said to knock it down) who said I didn’t need an engineer‘s plans, I just needed foundations! Steels sound potentially better than having to dig the whole thing up (its quite large). Any help very gratefully received..
