Old foundations for new extension? - Building Control
I have an idea to put a new roof on a small outbuilding,
and span from it to the main house, this would much improve insulation and light. Planning are only about where the walls go I think? But would Building Control let me use the existing walls with whatever foundation they do or dont have? Would I have to get a surveyor to do some sums? Or must I demolish everything and rebuild?

Structural engineer and a trial pit to determine soil type and existing foundations (if any) If it's a non-habitable outbuilding and a covered passage between that and the house it won't have to meet full BRegs anyway. And Planning are concerned with roofs as well as walls. Owain |

Well, that very much depends on the rest of the building and how it was
built I guess. Certainly, I see a lot of applications pass by, and some of the buildings are places I have been. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...
