The drawing was after a camera inspection of the drains, they have determined the depths from what I understand from the picture?

Thank you, & thank you to everyone who has commented, I am unsure of bldg regs no, will need to check with architect/builder? I will make some more enquiries? In the event it’s impossible, I’m wondering if I should forgo the side, go out the back then build garden building to house office &...

As far as I’m aware, the underlying flood drain doesn’t have an inspection manhole anywhere along the run until it exits the back fence, so whatever would be built would not prevent an inspection/maintenance, from the rest, which is as it is now ‍♀️

Yes I bet it would. Although I was thinking, if I laid a foot deep slab to just inside the drain line, but built out a little all round, the weight would be supported by the main slab with an overhang, if that makes sense, so no weight on the drain?

I took it as these measurements, perhaps I’m looking at the wrong thing?

The water company is Sourhern Water, although somebody said the other day they had joined with another company, but no idea if that’s true? I saw some column footings, some pilings & on stopdigging.co.uk done giant screws (apparently suitable for all types of ground, I was thinking soakaway...

The main foul drain is 30cm deep at one end, 96cm the other (bottom of pic) & the diagonal flood drain or whatever it is says 1.44m. Interestingly the side of the building, next doors garage and our old air raid shelter that was covered in all are already closer than the required distances? I...

yes pilings not likings! Typo! Yes, there was a long list of what I can’t do, it was strange that they said that, there’s not enough room for a hotel, but when they were built it was a massive estate with just the Manor House, so probably covering all bases!?

Interesting that in my various covenants in the deeds it states I can build ano gay other things, an hotel in my garden if I want, but clearly not!

Yes and apparently a request will cost approx £2000 & the architect is certain it will be turned down & it will take months, which doesn’t fit into the schedule? It looks like it cannot be done, or we have to find an alternative, which is why I was asking about the SIPS way of building as it can...

The red lines in the above picture are the foul drains & the picture below the diagonal line is the soakaway that is supposed to service the whole road?

We had a drain inspection, I’ll see if I can attach screenshot?

We need to remember miracles can happen, look at the boy who was declared brain dead, whose parents were about to switch off the machines and donate his organs back in March 2021, he woke up?! You just never know?

Hi newbie here, apologies for my ignorance in advance! I have got planning permission to build a wrapround extension to my property. It transpires that I have a main soakaway going through my plot that actually runs "under" the main foul drain. This soakaway apparently takes the excess water...
