Rodding access for foul drain runs under slab.

[MikeSharp01]

Hi all. Our architect has come back with our house soils plan and has requested rodding access in a straight line from the access chamber on the other side of the house. Is there a way around this requirement as the rodding access requested is going to be inaccessible at the very least as right beside a footpath under a hedge! Is it not possible to put a rodding point above the rest bend from the toilets etc?

My rodding access was at the top of the stack below the AAV. This was acceptable to the BCO

Sounds unnecessary.  We have a single foul stack, with a rest bend at the base, and a straight run under the slab to a 450mm chamber.  Because we can access the top of the stack, and rod up to the rest bend, that's fine as far as the regs go.

 

Edited to add that I cross-posted with Dogman.

Thanks all, that is all i need to go back to the architect with, All I can find in BR is the need for it to be rodable!
