We are finally getting round to putting in our planning application for new stable yard and arena.
The thing that's taxing me most is the drainage off the yard. We don't have mains drainage, so all our waste water from the house goes through a Klargester.
I wanted to drain the water from the yard through the Klargester, but the manufacturers say I can't and that I need to put in a separate septic tank. All our rainwater drains into the pond, but I can't do that either as it might be contaminated with shampoo etc.
I'm assuming quite a lot of us don't have mains drainage, so what have the rest of you done with the waste water?
Also, presumably if I build a concrete base for the muck heap, that needs to have a drain too?
It's all so complicated!
Grateful for your thoughts and experiences
