i know couple of people who built rear extensiosn and the builder built over the drain (ie the drain runs along the middle of the extesnion) . i think they used concret lintols etc to protect drains and put in access for drain maintenace (roddin i think is the term).
otheriwse would it not mean that most of the houses in dublin older estates would be unextendable?
is there anything in exempt development guidliens that makes reference to drains?

we would like to have it written in black and white.
We want to extend the property and the extension will be at only 312cm from the center of the man hole where a sewer of 300mm is in place. I'm aware of the rule "the drain should be below a 45 degree line extending from 300 mm below the bottom of the drain" and because it is really close to that limit and I can't know precisely where the sewer is, I would like to get Irish water to confirm that I can extend where I want to with a document, plan permission or other kind of paper that I can go ahead with the work. I don't really trust Architects and builders as in the end the responsibility and the damage remain to me.What exactly are you looking to get in writing?

I don't understand why I shouldn't buy this house, I think Irish water should give such type of approval written on a paper. In the end I'm trying to do the right thingAs you currently don't own the property, they are very unlikely to provide you with any such documentation.
You probably shouldn't be looking at purchasing a house that requires the services of both professions so.

The point is that Irish water has a sewer that they own and for which they created rules to be respected, so I'm expecting support from them in order to determinate if the owner of the land(I'm not but I'm sure I can get the owner to delegate me) can do the work he wantsThey will to the owner of the property if they are furnished with plans of the proposed works, and those plans contain sufficient detail for them to determine if it's likely to cause an issue or not. Without detailed plans, they'll likely just refer people to the guidance documentation (example).
The point was if you have no trust for builders and architects, why would you buy a house that would require you to avail of their services?
so I'm expecting support from them
