Gully /manhole cover in a conservatory

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

Can someone please help
I am planning of building a conservatory across the width of my terraced house so that both the Back room and the kitchen on the side increase in size.

The conservatory will go over a man-hole cover which I guess can be raised and is not a problem.

The real worry is that what happens to the gully situated at the bottom right of the property outside the Kitchen where the water from the top bathroom goes into and also a couple of pipes from the kitchen sink & Washing machine go into. How can that be covered in a conservartory.

Can the gully be move to the front (another 3.5 m) or can it stay in the same place.

Also I would like to make provision for say installing a toilet/Sink later on to one side of the conservatory(brick wall here). Can the builder create two news pipes to the existing drainage(one for toliet & other for say sink/washing machine) and bring them up to the conservatory base and just cover them with a cap incase I need to use it later.

It would be easiet this way as the drainge would then be in place.

Please help on this

The Kitchen Waste Pipe will need to be re-sited outside the building. The architect should allow for this in the plans.

For the additional toilet connection, what is needed is known as a Soil Vent Pipe (SVP) and again, your architect can include this in the plans. As with the KWP, these foul connections really ought to be outside the building envelope, although, in some circs, an internal SVP is possible.

I can't tell you what would be the most suitable layout as I can't see your site but nothing you have mentioned sounds particularly tricky.
