    The 20 sqm cabin in the woods is to have little more elaborate than a water butt for rainwater harvesting and watering the garden, but the drainage requirments to keep BC happy are to be 2.5m cubic M soakaway. Can I reduce this by getting more serious about harvesting?

    I very much doubt it.

    You could try and argue that 1m^3 soakaway is good enough, but then why do you need one at all? You are in woodland after all.

    I didn't think you needed building regs approval for structures less than 30m2.
