Fosse Septique regulations for dog kennels and catteries

[silverfox]

Are there any specific fosse septique regulations regarding running a commercial dog kennel and/or cattery e.g. is there a requirement  for a separate fosse septique to the domestic set up?

Hi!

The matter is rather complex and will depend on the local directives and soil analysis.

You can look here from page 23 ( although kennels are not specifically mentioned.

You would have first have to consult the local: POS ( Plan d'Occupation des Sols ) or PLU ( Plan Local d'Urbanisme ) because there are also distance questions to the next houses - You would have to clear the feasability of the project, before buying.

Thanks for the pointers, which as you say do not specifically cover dog kennels.  The volume output and soil type are, as you point out, key - but the other factor was whether there are any restrictions because of the animal 'waste'.  Will try and discuss with the appropriate officials.
