Any problems with my proposed drain plan

I am relaying the drains around my house because i am doing an extension on the back. I am also on a semi set up whereby my drains go to the back of the house and then cross over to my neighbours and run down his drive.
However, i have found out from a camera survey i have my own connection into the road from my front downpipe. Our road is a combined system as well.
ALSO my neighbour has in the past had a conservatory extension and his drains have been altered and actually does a loop into my garden (under my current conservatory and soon to be extension) and then back onto my connection and back under his wall onto his system (very complicated).
So the best option is to redo all this work while i build my extension. I'm doing all the work so it is just the cost of the plastic and my time. I think i can get rid of the muck on the garden.
I have done a plan, but the only way i can show it to you is via another website as i can't load onto this site.
This is the link if you would be kind enough to critique my plans. I think i may need a manhole around the connection next to the pavement and one off the first leg which sits between the neighbour wall and my new extension wall.

What i was saying is although it is a combined drainage system it is usual to install to seperate runs until you get to the combined manhole. The manhole should be inside your property by a metre. It is connected to a lateral pipe out to the main run. As i said you need to be thinking of the surcharge on manholes/ inspection chambers with foul and sw ( surface water/ storm water) build up at peak times and stormy weather.
