Building near trees (building regs)

[foliedouce]

Does anyone have any experience of building near trees (3 metres away) and what depth of footings where required by building control#?

Thanks, that's very useful, apparently I need 2 1/2 metres footing

Thanks everyone else as well

When we built ours, BC wanted 2m (in chalk ground). As above the existing house is on much smaller foundations and has had no issues in the 60 years its been there.

how far from the trees were you and what trees were they?

Does anyone have experience of overhanging trees? Looking to build an extension with an overhanging canopy. Dug footings and roots aren't an issue
