Running a Gite and Renovating in Brittany

Septic tank permission granted

I got my septic tank permit through the post today.

Permission was granted with a few small caveats. Notably:-

• A secondary ventilation pipe for each tank must be provided that runs back into the house and then extends up through the roof with a cap.
• An anti-rodent grill to stop any vermin getting back up the waste pipes.

I did mention before about regulations, but in my case the only relevant ones are that the soak-away must be at least 35 meters from the well and 3 meters from a boundary of large trees or shrubs. A quick search reveals everything you could ever want to know about septic tanks in France.

I also sent a copy to the DDE to let then know about the granted permission with regards to my planning application.
