Can I run a soil pipe under a new concrete floor with a few 30 degree bends, without needing an inspection chamber?
I want to build a 6m rear extension, but the main/public sewer is only 7m from the rear of my property (parallel to the rear wall). I know I need to notify my water provider if I am building within 3m of a public sewer, and I also read somewhere that if the sewer is between 1.1m and 2m deep, then there is a minimum distance of 600mm, or 1m if it's deeper.
My plan, before I realised how close the main sewer actually was, was to put a inspection chamber closer to the main sewer, outside he bounds of the extension, for my new pipework to connect to - but I'm not sure that I can do that with just 1m of space, if I was even allowed to.
I'll need to run new pipe from the side of the extension (see attached plan), and I'm hoping I can connect these to an inspection chamber, and the run new pipework to the existing pipe with some gradual bends.
I believe some existing properties may have soil pipes under the concrete floor - but I'm unsure if this would be conform to today's building regs. Estimated run would be 7.5m under the floor.
Thank you
