reading through this thread and found it interesting. I have recently done a planning app for a friend and now the council have come back looking for a soak pit to be constructed to accommodate the works - its a 24m2 extension seems madness tbh and council wont reconsider and let me tap into existing storm line... can anyone suggest a way of working out rainfall v roof size calc?
