Securing wardrobe to wall

Yes, exactly. After 'drilling' through the plasterboard you can extract the plug and cut the drilling part off to make the plug a little shorter.

You can consider 'gripit' sort of fixings -

but they will work only between the 'dots' of the adhesive, that is very unpredictable. And the gap has to be deep enough.

Just so I'm understanding you correctly basically the thickness of the plaster board and the space from the brickwork will only be around 17 mm so unlike a stud wall there won't be enough room for this self drilling plug? (Which is 32mm)  

If the block wall is thermolite they will screw in.

This is probably what I'm going to use. They look pretty decent and should fit.
