I meant width

Won't be much thicker than any existing pier.

my bet is that all the garages are built on a shared raft foundation, so my previous post still applies, you will have to take down the dividing wall to create a new footing for the extension.

Thanks rite sh, read the other post and was like really...knock the garage down surely not!

My main concern was the council saying it's feasible. I spoke to to the duty planner today only for a few minutes and to be fair all he really did was refer me to wbc design guide, though he thought extending over garage should be fine ( even though it's joined to other garages), providing the guild lines online are followed.
He referred to a pre application that you can do...

In terms of the garage seems a structural engineer maybe the way forward, though I'm led to believe for them to access it we are talking big money, in the region of 2k plus (their drawings, digging into garage etc), seems very pricey

Architect, drawings and planning permission about £500 plus and extra fees.
Structural Engineer will be a couple of hundred. Any reason why you couldn't dig a test hole?
