They are a government dept, of course they don't know what they are doing

There will or should be a BC manager, I would refer to them and not the inspector potentially agreeing on no drainage or soakaway 5m away from foundations. Planning won't be interested as not an issue for them, BC deal with drainage etc, and is in their realm.

If linked to a new build or additional works to an existing building then they should be making an application to BC to inspect and approve.

Sounds like their a bunch of numpties, so legal route may be your last resort. However, you could appraoch your local councillor or the Council's chief exec and make a complaint regarding the issue

I had a confirmation back this afternoon from the principle bulding control officer stating that I am indeed correct.

So I have it in an email.

I have since spoken to him and sent him the application details so he is going to pay a visit.

The building control application is a full plans (as opposed to a building noice) submission and hence they have only so far carried out a first inspection and not a final one.

He has added the concern to the case notes so I think we have them by the goolies!
