Connecting mobile structure to septic tank, building warrant application

[Grian]

Hello, hoping someone can advise please. First hurdle cleared - got planning permission to site a shepherd's hut, next I want to connect it to the services used by the house. I believe the only interest Building Control has in a mobile structure is with regard to the septic tank? 

 

Am hoping this will be straightforward and not require specialist (expensive) input to prepare the application, but it isn't evident from the planning portal whether there is a special form or part of a form for a mobile unit such as a caravan or shepherds hut.

 

Any advice or experiences gratefully received!

Yes the drainage run from the hut to the septic tank will need to be inspected and verified by building control.  It will need to meet current regulations and they might insist on a pressure test of the drain run.  

 

As part of our build, the spur of drain to the static caravan was tested and inspected by building control.

Thank you, hoping that is all in order as the off-grid options for a toilet don't look great.

There are some decent options like incinerator loos you can get
