Same as here then, foundations always on original ground.Grey area.
Have had BC before questioning the depth of footings, but then it was Rory spec made ground..... Hard as f**k and unfortunately landscaped in so you can't see it.
Personally unless a Geotech comes in and does a compaction test it's a No..... Whilst I always engineer fill jobs like this bottom line is I'm not a Geotech.
For that reason I tend to dig through the fill. Or tell em to pile. Depending on the situation
