    hi, looking for info on an odd scenario. my estate and the estate beside me have two boundary walls. The neighbours wall is in his garden, my wall in my garden and boundary line in between. The walls are butted up to each other, but not connected. Question is, can i raise my wall to build a shed or is it classed as the boundary wall? thanks

    I would argue its not a boundary wall as the air space between the 2 is the notational boundary.

    Question though, is the wall structurally sound to build up to form a structure?

    That's what I thought. Yes, it is well built with plenty of pillars. Thanks for your help

    Foundations.
    Depth of foundations.
    Type of block used.

    Pillars mean nothing.

    I dug a pot hole to the foundations on this wall and the house, and sadly i'd be more afraid of the house coming down. It's hard to believe what they have got away with in the past.

    I've ZERO experience in building besides lego, but I would suspect that a straight wall would need a different and deeper foundation than a square / rectangle structure that has the structure to support itself?

    And I don't recall any houses from the past falling apart due to foundations excluding the pyrite issue.
