Been trying to get an answer from DEFRA but they don't exactly rush to respond. I live in a rural area of Cornwall where our property has a septic tank which was installed about 20 years ago. It works perfectly and the drain field is entirely on our own property. The tank is however situated only about 10 feet from our boundary with our neighbour. However there are no problems with the system. Also it's worth noting that there are no streams or springs anywhere near. A builder has advised me that our septic tank will not conform to upcoming legislation and says we need to install a treatment plant.
If that is true then I will bite the bullet but I'm just trying to find out whether the builders information is correct. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
