Services

All five properties on the site have been installed with their own sewage treatment plants each treating individual effluent discharging into a main shared private drain, which runs into a pumping station that discharges through a collection chamber to a watercourse on the vendor's land. Surface water is dealt with in the same manner through an independent system with attenuation tanks below ground, one of which is situated beneath the rear garden of The Old Dairy. All easement will be included to protect the provision and maintenance of the system. The vendors will be setting up a service contract with CM Environmental Services, which will incur an annual fee for the system maintenance. This fee will be divided between all five properties. It is anticipated that the annual maintenance visit will cost £150 inclusive and any desludge visit is £200 if required. The sap/Energy calculations by Ashby Energy have satisfied the requirements of both the NHBC and Building Control.
