I am concerned about the charmingly named stench pipe which rises from the ground directly outside my front window. It stands only about four to five feet high which places it in a most obvious position. Can I just get rid of it? I know it's supposed to assist in discharging gaseous build up from the sewer but it is a) unattractive and b) potentially rather whiffy and I wonder if there is another method of dealing with this. On certain days, but not every day, there is a strong sewerage smell at the front of the house although I am not certain it is actually coming from this pipe. I've only lived there four months and I hate to think what it's like in summer...

Your pipe should be 900 mm above the nearest window opening so I'm not surprised you are having the pleasure of sewer aromas 
Suggest you have it extended ASAP.
I'm surprised your building survey didn't pick this up as it is against regs

Look at the date of the first post--
Wondered why you bothered to respond to a two year old post-you wanna be a MOD?
Just a theory but folks might resurrect old post cos if they have a problem they do a search which throws up similar subjects but don't notice that the thread is from a few years back.
Often advice given on here suggest that people do a search to find a solution instead of offering one.
