I am planning on building a conservatory onto the back of my house.
The conservatory will have a concrete base and the floor level will be below the existing air bricks that vent from under the kitchen suspended wooden floor.
Building control has said that air bricks cannot vent into a conservatory therefore I need to raise my floor level to be above the air bricks and duct them through the concrete and out of the base wall of the conservatory.
1. Is there any other way other than raising the floor to solve the problem?
As if the height of the conservatory increses then it will enclose the extractor vent which I was trying to avoid moving.
2. If I have to raise the floor but still want a concrete base do I just increase the thickness of the concrete then?
