    Does your council offer pre planning advice, usually for free?

    Whilst what they say won't be fully comprehensive, they can provide valuable advise and guidance before you spend loads on architects and fees etc.

    Is the garage, & it's footings, strong enough to be built over or will it need to be rebuilt entirely?
    The garage is cavity wall on three sides, but it does share the internal wall with the house. We were hoping that as the garage is attached, then builders perhaps didn't bother digging the garage foundations any shallower while doing the rest of the house. We will of course need to confirm that. They need to be at least a metre deep, right?
