New boundary wall - roughly 1m, turn right, 30m, turn right, 5m, turn right and finally another 5m.

Just a wall, not retaining, one side will be timber clad and the other side a mix of smooth render and stone faced.
Nothing will ever be hung/grown/attached to the wall.

Height will be approx 1.8m.

Will be using solid breeze blocks, on their face.

Will it need buttresses? If so how many and what spacing?

Ok, seems that I thought this might be easier than it is going to be!

I am getting a builder in to help, as although I am quite handy with dry stone walling I am very much a beginner at block.

Was just wanting to make sure I was armed with the right info.
