Insurance Instruction Resolved in Three Days – Bespoke EA Permit for a Dry Ditch

Overview

Appley Croft Barn’s failing septic tank triggered an insurance instruction to WCI. Clay soils ruled out any drainage field, and a seasonally dry ditch was the only discharge option – requiring a bespoke permit rather than General Binding Rules registration. WCI delivered the whole solution in three days.

The Challenge

Clay soils prevented any drainage field. A bespoke permit was needed for the seasonal ditch discharge, but the insurance instruction meant the work needed to start promptly.

The WCI Solution

WCI discussed the discharge route with the local EA officer and agreed to commence installation ahead of the formal permit application. A Building Notice was submitted and the new STP was installed in three days.

The Outcome

Appley Croft Barn fully compliant within three days, resolving the insurance requirement.
