Conservatory dwarf walls. Do these look right?

350mm is plenty of concrete. Houses used to be built on 9 inches of concrete before trench fill became popular.
Whether they dug deep enough you can only tell by digging down. If there is a block and then the concrete it must be at least 600mm down. The depth of a foundation depends on various conditions, but a rule of thumb nowadays is 1000mm deep.1 -
The only way to find out how deep the foundations are is to dig a small hole. It only needs to be a foot or so wide. Dig down somewhere on the outside until you have exposed the top of the foundation strip, then dig out a bit more until you find the bottom. Measure the thickness, then fill the hole back up.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
