Hi Rexo, thanks for the feedback,
It's actually a dormer bungalow, i.e. a storey-and-a-half; the drain in question curls into the wall upstairs, going into a master bedroom en suite. (Sorry, should have made this more clear in the initial post)
So the drop would indeed by more than 1.5m... in your experience, would this mandate a separate vent for this pipe, then?
Also, according to TGD H, para 1.3.4, there's a suggestion that a line more than 6m from the main stack needs its own vent - this drain is about 12m away, at a guess. (I may be misunderstanding the TGD text here, though).
