Building Regs For Parking Space

I would apply, the cost will be minimal, it also helps when you sell.

If you read the rgs you can work it out, (or guess it out), the regs are online. When the guy comes to inspect the holes for the foundation treat him as a friend there to help you get it right, not the enemy, he will probably help you get it right.

Your proposed work does not require building regulation approval as it is not controlled work.

Planning dept are not interested in the depth of your foundation as it is outside of their remit.

Foundations should be min 450mm deep, or down to suitable load bearing soil.

It depends on whether you need a Building Regulations application or not. The basic thing about Building Regulations is they only apply to buildings. If it doesn't have a roof, it's not a building.

Unless your excavation will adversely affect a building (yours or your neighbours), then no application is required. This is only likely to happen if the depth of your house footings plus the distance from your house footings to the start of your excavation is less than 1m.

About the same as this piece of string.
