depends on your ground mate
if its heavy clay or if its sand or chalk etc etc
regards LLL
I would go for 2m3 at a guesstimate

The calculation for determining the size and depth of a soakaway is given on the main website. Depth and size is a factor of area to be drained and ground permeability. There is no pre-set size/depth.

See the Soakaways page
