Hi Charles, Danielle, The Klargester will discharge to a soak away, and percolation tests will be conducted and witnessed in accordance with Building Control requirements. I have amended Page1 Line2 to omit reference to field drains and include the percolation test, and attach the updated document for the file. Thanks all for looking at it so promptly, if there's anything else required just let me know.
