Regardless of Durgo or not to Durgo, you will "defo" need building control approval to sign the work off and usually you will need planning permission to move or install a soil stack to the outside of a building and make a new connection to the sewer. Also a little known fact is that not to do so will invalidate your buildings insurance and may contravene the conditions of any mortgage. Best make a quick phone call to the council imho.

Thought i'd update the outcome.
Council came and checked the work last week and gave approval and signed it off.

Now, he was happy with the way it was done and was happy to sign it off there and then. I was very surprised after the comments here about the Durgo valve and the pipe being lower than the toilet waste. Anyway he did recommend that the pipe was extended above the gutter and left open naturally and remove the Durgo as they are troublesome. They either work or they don't and as we were getting drain smells back in the house i did as he recommended and extended the pipe and left it open.

I do think the council were more interested in the money than what had been done. It wasn't cheap for a 5 minute visit!!

Thanks all for the help and recommendations. Much happier now

Thanks for coming back and updating the forum with the outcome.
Surprising how many people use the advice on here without so much as a thankyou.
