    I plan on building an extension to the rear of my house. There is a sewer line running along the back which picks up all the houses on the block. We are the last on the run. No manhole. Also its approx 6 foot deep. Our foundations wont cross the sewer but run parallel just inside the sewer. Approx 500mm away.. does anyone know the regulations on this. Thanks.

    Look at section 1.7 in the above document

    Do you know if it's an Irish Water owned/operated sewer?

    For new developments, Irish Water require a separation distance of 3 m from their sewers to the nearest structure.

    This may not be the same for extensions, but I'd say the same principle applies. At the very least, you'll have to give them notification of your works, and you may have to enter into a diversion agreement.

    If it’s a public system then the way leave applies to extensions too.
    If it’s private then the Building Regulations may be enough.

    First off, confirm it’s private by going to your LA and they can check their maps.
