You want to lay on 50mm thickness of sand and cement? 14square meters area? Why would you do that but here you go….

• Sand (bulk bags, 1 tonne each) — 2 bulk bags
• Cement (25 kg bags) — 9 bags (25 kg each)
• Hydrated lime (25 kg bags) — 1 bag (25 kg)

Go sharp.

Coarse sharp at that thickness.

I'd go screeding sand (strong mix at start) and fine it down towards the final coat.
