Firstly the property is on a combined drainage system, otherwise this would clearly be not allowed

I have very limited space on the house wall, due to the location of a window and a garden wall, fitting both pipes into this space will be tight. Additionally I will likely need to introduce a bend into the soil stack (below the window), due to lack of underground space for both a rest bend (for soil stack) and a gully (for down pipe).

So is there a trap I can fit to a soil stack that allows a down pipe to be connected above the height of the garden wall?

There is a dormer window above the level of the gutter, hence the need for the trap.

(Before anyone ask, yes building control is going to inspect the work.)

Thanks,

I had a feeling they may not be on the market.

Maybe you could use a couple of double socket access bends and make a gully with rodable access points top and bottom, just a thought ???

I need to get this past building control!

I have decided to run the down pipe along the garden wall for a short distance, so that I have space for the gully.
