Has rabbit_rabbit nicked my r again �;D

Details should be on drawing submitted to planning office.

If the extention is a straight continuation of the existing building then I would expect the bricks to be toothed out to continue the course.

If the wall is butting up against the existing then Furfix or toothed, again depending on what happens inside.
