Advice on foundations.

So, we will be demolishing the current buildings on our site. The new build will be pretty much the same footprint. 
 

Someone mentioned we should break all the current Redbrick & concrete into rubble and use it in the foundations and to raise the height of the building by a small amount, which is fine. 
 

Question, how does the ‘rubble’ affect the foundations ? Do we break it up, spread it over the area then dig the foundations out as normal ? 
 

Picture is the current state.

Possibly, not sure where to start with that tbh. 

Garden walls around new house, raised flower beds

why not knock it all down and see how many come out whole and how easy they clean up, if it takes 10 minutes a brick to clean then it’s hardcore, if it’s lime mortar that falls off if you bang two bricks together, then there keepers.
