Thanks, really good job you did there!
Still trying to get my head around how to tackle building off the slab.. Is your timber frame sitting in the blue bricks? What are the blocks I can see in photo? Ta!

It’s built off the blue bricks, yeah.
You can probably ignore the blocks for yours - they’re a specific detail of mine where part of it is a retaining wall due to higher ground on one side. I did a separate external dense block leaf with a cavity, plinth bricks and flashed the cladding over it.
I'd expect that building regulations should specify what should be done to anchor a timber-framed house. I'd download them (free) and have a read for yourself rather than copying whatever others decided.
