UnderstandableHi All,
I have recently been denied planning permission in South Tipperary on the grounds that there has been too much development in the area, recently. I have been asked to consider extending my parents house where I presently reside. I am against this suggestion as I simply dont want to put my parents through the inconvenience of a house extension in their elder years.
In urban areas you can build over a private sewer serving one house that's in your control.Therefore, I am looking to form a strong argument against this proposal. One of my arguments is that the sewage tank is located behind the existing dwelling and that an extension would have to be constructed over existing sewage pipework. Is this against building regulations??
Yes, since http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/DevelopmentandHousing/BuildingStandards/FileDownLoad,24906,en.pdf (Technical Guidance Document H 2010) refers to a new 2009 EPA guideline, which I cannot find yet, but a link to the 2009 guideline regulation from the EPA is given below.Also, an extension would probably come within 7 metres (needs to more than 7 metre, I think) of the existing sewage tank. Again, is this against building regulation??
I'm not certain where the last requirement comes from, but if its in relation to extending your parents house and you extend it to the rear, the extended house will have to comply with the current EPA guide.Finally, in this situation would it be standard practice to be requested to make the concerned bathroom redundant, remove existing sewage pipework and install a new and improved sewage treatment area more than 7 metres from the back of the new extension?? Any help on the above would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance.
