Hi all,
very brieft background - in negotiations to buy a house which was extended. Retention was granted for these add-ons by local council a few years ago - however when we look at the plans of the house the current septic tank system does not match what was provided at the time (e.g the vendor never implemented the proposed septic tank works)
Current septic tank is only 5 feet (the 'up pipe') from the rear of conservatory and due to the angle of the house and the additional extension, the rear garden site doesn't seem to have a huge square metre site for a new system.
I spoke with one company who gave me their required dimensions for their system (10 metres from house, 3 metres from boundary , system 30sq metre, plus 15m or less perculation area). This will not fit within the existing site.
Does anyone know of the spacial requirements for wastewater treatment systems by reputable and certified coompanies in Ireland? I have contacted EPS but am waiting to hear back.
If you know of a company & would recommend them, that have an adequate system for a small site & their contact details it would be hugely appreciated.
Our only other option is to try and negotiate to purchase more land but its not an option finanacially (and the likelihood of farmer selling same is nil!)
