Hi,
I have a soakaway under the steps to my house. The house was built in 1950 and so the steps are need of repair. I thought that it might be a good idea to move the steps sideways and so nearer the street door, as this would also allow me to create a parking space.
The problem is, the soakaway/steps are only about 2mtrs from the front of the house. If I am to comply with the regs and place it 5mtrs from the house it would be in the road. I cannot move it to the side or back as the ground runs up hill. Would it be legal to move the soakaway and still keep it 2mtrs as this is the existing location.
Regards
