  • New foundation and existing retaining wall

    Hi I am planning to replace my existing conservatory with a single storey extension. The conservatory is just within our boundary but there is a approx 2m level difference, supported by a retaining wall. The existing conservatory foundation is not deep enough and building controls have said I can’t put any additional load onto the retaining wall - what are my options? Thanks
