We are planning a small kitchen extension, for which we don't need planning permission. The planned extension is right by a manhole in the back garden, and so will probably go over a sewer at the back of our house. The exact classification of the sewer appears to have some relevance as to whether we need to submit full plans to the building regs people, or if we can just do a building notice. Despite speaking to both the Building Regs person at the Council, and to Thames Water, we are more confused than before, with very unclear advice from both.
I am particularly confused about whether the issue is: whether the sewer is on the "public map of sewers" or whether it's an "ex-Section 24 sewer" (these do not appear to be the same as each other).
I know this is a rather specific question, but I figure since loads of people on here have extended their houses, surely someone had come across it before!
Can you explain it all clearly to me?! It's driving me mad as we can't progress the extension plans until we resolve this!
Thanks very much.
