he should have a idea he spent £1000's putting in holding tanks and underground injectors when the rules changed.

the country air smells a whole lot better around here these days
I'll stick to referring to the Environment Agency - the reference link to ADAS on his website is ten years out of date (April 2001)
ETA - although that link is also on the EA website, but it's guidance on best practise, rather than law. You'd have thought they would have upgraded it post-2005 though.

Over here they must be inspected before new usage. Certain burial depths, drain field regs, etc.
Not up to code, fix or fine.

I'm just trying to fill my form in this morning... finding a location map will be fun. However, my query is this... my septic tank is on the property next door to mine (it all used to be one property but part of it got sold off). Therefore what should I put as the location of exemption... I'm assuming it will be next door's address as thats where the tank is... am I right?

If there's a separate section for correspondence address, I would put the neighour's address as location.
If you need a decent map use www.magic.gov.uk

Received a paper copy for registering the septic tank this morning - looks like we're going to have to register now there is a paper trail!
Funny though how the deadline has now changed to June (it was end of December 2011)...probably when they realised that no one knew anything about it and no one registered.

They have to know you have a septic tank to send you a registration form to tell them you have a septic tank...
(nothing here!)

No, all they have to know is which households aren't paying the sewerage part of their water bill.

You'd think so but some households have different water and sewerage suppliers and some have no water connection but are connected to sewerage and some are connected to neither and some are illegally connected to one or the other or both and some were but have been disconnected and some have been redevloped or built, some were never on the old local authoritiy lists, some share a tank, some share a water connection, some have submeters and are resold their water by the principal customer...
...it's like nailing jelly to the wall.

We got our registration form this morning---since I don't think our back field is "an environmentally sensitive location" which would cost us £125 it looks like no problem.

As Behemoth says, not quite. We don't pay any water related bill, and they keep threatening to cut us off if we don't talk to them. So we don't. But it still rains.
