Same here. Just sent in a rough plan showing the location of the two soakaways
and the charge was dropped. No mention of distances from the road.

Out of interest, what was the charge?


I think we are charged about £35 a year becuase the front roof drains
into the road gutter. i wonder if I would be allowed to direct all
the roof rainwater into the foul sewer 'included in the price'. it
would be convenient becauase I want to stop using the victorian soak-
aways that are basically under the house
