Small Extension for boot room

[AR754]

Hi all! I’m looking at putting a small extension on the back of my house and would like it to be timber clad with a dwarf wall. I’ve done a few bits of renovation in the past and would like to tackle this myself. I know i’ll Require building regs etc. But just wanted some advice as to how about getting a small wall like in the pic shown? Many thanks.

Standard foundation, with inner block leaf going up, probably light weight blocks.

Outer leaf could be block work too, the out of sight part, and clad with air gap behind to create that look. Issue is the inset of the wall from the stepped edge you have shown. You may get away with timber frame completely as it's only a small build.

Fire reg side of compliance will be key if close to boundary and/or there is a lot of wood in it. Some gurus on here will have some good suggestions on that.

Thanks for your reply! I did wonder about fire proofing. Not sure what the regs are if we went full timber frame.
