Questions
Questions from Stokesley
Do you cover villages around Stokesley?
Yes, including Great Ayton, Great Broughton, Hutton Rudby, Carlton-in-Cleveland, Kildale and Ingleby Greenhow. Send your postcode and we'll confirm.
Is the River Leven a problem for septic tanks near Stokesley?
Only if a septic tank discharges straight to it or to a ditch that feeds it, which the general binding rules don't allow. Systems close to watercourses need careful siting, and a treatment plant is often the answer.
Do I need permission to replace a septic tank in Stokesley?
A new or replacement system normally needs Building Regulations approval, and planning permission can apply in some cases. If it can't meet the general binding rules, an environmental permit may be needed.
