Never thought that you would ask. I did one a couple of months ago and walked of the job in high dungeon. I don't think that there is any problem with "deep" drain runs to mains sewer if there is a mains drain nearby and there was one in the road next to the church. The same road from which the mains water was fed. The faculty plan I was shown showed two 1 meter by 15m long drains about 15 metres from the church but after it was pointed out that they couldn't get any slop from the church "they" decided that the two runs could be joined together into a 2 metre wide 15 metre long hole and that regs allowed them to bring soakaways to within 3 metres of the church. So as it was a soakaway 3 metres from the church then that was alright then. I was told that the architect was on the diocesan faculty committee and everything was alight as "trench arch" was designed for churchyards. I told them to get stuffed and they got another archaeologist in to sign it off. I put my bill into the builder and he doesn't talk to me anymore.
