It's your drain, you can do what you like with it.

I can't see the water company being interested.

On new housing builds the Building Control department of the local council checks and approves drains.......and if you really want to get involved with the beaurocracy ask them.

I can't recollect a single instance of small builders/plumbers ever bothering.
