Building distance from septic tank.

How far must you be from septic tank for building purposes? This is in relation to extending existing house.

Molly,
I think it's 7ms. but percolation area must be 18m.

if your extending and you have a septic tank, i would recommend you get a local engineer/arch to assess the system and ensure it meets current standards. it may well be worth ensuring you have a few grand to cover its upgrading which would be cheapest to do at the same time as extending
