Please see the site plan: the septic tank serving the neighbouring property to the north of the development site is located just inside the northern boundary of the site.

We understand that from the point of view of Building Regulations, it is permissible to the build within 7 metres of a septic tank and within 25 metres of a soakaway. These distances are indicated on the plan and it is also worth bearing in mind that the land falls away to the west/south west from the soakaway.
