Inspection chamber depth question - Is there a minimum?

Foul and surface water, private drains and public sewers, land drains and soakaways, filter drains and any other ways of getting rid of water.

Hello

Could you tell me please if there are any building regulations regarding minumum depth of an inspection chamber (combined/foul system).
I want to take away the top course of bricks to enable me to pave around it and install a recessed cover, but that would leave a depth of 18 inches from the benching. Is that enough?
I've had a search of the site and forum (honest) but can't find anything on it.
would appreciate your advice please...great site by the way! :)
many thanks
Andy

No such thing as minimum depth - I know you might not be aware of this, but some drainage systems are actually higher than ground level!
