I've taken over a bit of land that was once a farm ditch at the end of my garden, it's all above board paid the farmer the money, and he has sold the fields to a developer, and the developer has created a new system for ground water run off.
My neighbour has done the same and had a container put in its place with type 1 installed and concrete piles for it done by the builders that bought the land for a cheap rate.
At the time I didn't have the money and wasn't sure what we wanted to put at the bottom of the garden (shed, garden room, container), so just paid for the ditch to be filled in with type 1 mot, and compacted.
Problem is I really didn't think about exactly how I was going to proceed with things.
Now I'm at the point Im ready to move on with the project but feel I've screwed my self over.
The size of the garden room is to be circa 6x3.5 meters. The base needs levelling somewhat to suit the rest of the garden.
The access to the area is a bit of a sod, 140 ft from the road, with a very narrow side access garden over 2 levels with steep steps.
I thought the cheapest option would be ground screws, but pretty certain having had the type 1 laid I've screwed this option up.
Concrete over it, the shuttering should be ok, but should it be insulated and have a Dpm? Or just put dpm in and make an insulated timber frame? Pretty certain it will also require rebar, and it starts getting very expensive.
I could place blocks and have a wooden frame, but I'm concerned about movement,
I'm stuck what to do,
