Foundation for extension

Question

A two story extension has been built on a 600 wide Foundation can the builder build a brick wall up against the external block wall? Without affecting the load to the foundations, will it pass planning

Gerry · Accepted Answer

Yes if there is enough room and to have it tied into the other wall. if there is no footing down to build the wall on you will have to put one down to build the wall on top of it. Plus tie it into the other wall your building up against.

No it won't pass planning and would cause damp, should have a cavity

Mark · Answer

Its more a question of building control inspector as opposed to planning . 600mm wide foundation is ample for cavity work
If its on good ground. .I would check the drawings .I hope that is some assistance.

Ciprian · Answer

This question is for the engineer who designed the actual foundation if you don’t have his details you have to get another engineer to check the existing foundation to see if it supports the load you want to put on it 
I hope this helps
