Hi folks, just wondering what anyone could advise re scottish regs? I've excavated a semi-circular bit from the garden which is 6.6m diameter and 1.1m deep. I'm a stonemason so toying with either:
1- doing the whole thing with drystone- cost huge and I figure at least 500mm wide with a batter of 1:3((350mm slope from the foot)
2- a 215mm concrete block wall faced with 100mm stone on a found 300mm thick by 600mm wide. Given the horseshoe shape it should be structurally ok, or maybe even overkill?
3- 5 strainers set at 36 degrees(concreted in to 750mm) with treated timbers behind. cheaper by far and less work.
The ground is sand/gravel/stone/boulder/huge boulder fluvioglacial till in the spey valley.
I'm just concerned over legal issues, and am even prepared to do it vertical to 600mm then even do a 45 degree batter back from there.
Can anyone advise me how not to get prosecuted(in a national park now...) and what the safest and cheapest method is to do this?
I've kept loads of stone having hand picked/dug half of it but rounded mica schists and granite boulders are crap for dyking...
