So anybody relocated a house?
-
We have two large offices above the garage that are causing the issue, but I think that I have found a way around it, and got it down to 4 bedrooms. A massive cavity slider that opens up the whole space, which is now called a "gallery" (very fucking grand) instead of two "bedrooms" - which are studies. The engineer and architect reckon it will comply, so fingers crossed.
The wastewater system is designed to take up to 8 bedrooms anyway, but you need a massive dispersal field for that. We have the space but I am trying to keep it all gravity fed (don't want any electric pumps in it at all) so trying to work with the existing contours and keep the field smaller. I could move some earth to accommodate it but, guess what, council restrict earthworks even on a 22 acre block. I don't actually own the land apparently - council do (yes I get that there have to be some restrictions but everything that I am doing is eco friendly, and they still make it difficult).

@snowy are they just the drip field ones?

@voodoo he's trying to keep a low profile. Plus local politicians just keep going missing in his region... go figure!!

@snowy ever thought about taking up local politics mate?
Yes. Unfortunately council would probably end up like Taiwan:
Most of the people in our area who have actually managed to achieve any sort of property development have either been on council, or had close associations with councilors. Read into that what you will.
The housing crisis is unlikely to end under the current rules.

@snowy I re-laid all my drip-field hoses 18 months ago...one now instead of runing back and forth across the back section, runs around the perimeter of half my property.

Not yet, but action may need to be taken.

Do you have a powered system? Your place is quite flat isn't it?

@snowy yes and around 10-15 deg slope

@taniwharugby Hoping to do ours all power free and we have plenty of fall. Should be O.K. if we are 4 bed not 6.
