Creating a soak away at the front of the house.

Posted by Jo Wright, on
We are creating a soak away at the front of the house. The extension plans say it should be 6m from the house, but this would be in the road, what should we do?

In a normal case , you should move it to as far away from the property as possible so to your boundary line ,but it makes sense to notify your building inspector of the issue before hand as he may want you to connect into a rain water drain near by of he may be ok with a shorter distance for a 1 cubic meter soak away.
