I'm considering building an extension to the rear of my house and am giving my creativity full freedom!
As in most properties, the main waste water/sewage pipe for the block of houses runs across the rear gardens before being fed in to the main pipe underneath the street. There is a drain cover in each garden that allows access to the pipe for emergency purposes or to deal with blockages etc
I am told it would be difficult to get planning permission for any permanent structure that sought to remove access to the drain cover. The only alternative would be to re-route the main pipes in buried in the garden and that this would involve considerable cost.
Any truth in this?
