HI,
I am looking to build an outbuilding for storage and need some assistance regarding the foundation. I have reviewed alot of threads on this forum and others regarding foundation and have a basic understanding of what is required.
I am looking to build a 7m by 5m single storey outbuilding. the new building is about 6m away from the house and is 1m away from any of the boundary. since it is greater than 30m2 I am assuming i need to report the matter for palnning permission?
I am under the assumption that i need to dig a trench 450mm wide and 600mm deep, fill with concrete to about 150mm below ground, lay dpm and fill another 150mm on top (use mesh if possible), is this correct.
I intend to use breeze blocks and start building from the ground level. the wall will be double and there will be no gaps between the blocks since it is storage space purley.
please provide advice if this is correct or if you see a better way of doing this?
