Grego.........If you cover it over the man in side might not be able to get out.........
.........sorry I couldn't resist.
I’m not sure what the planning requirements would be. Is the manhole you want to cover over the same as the one that’s ten foot away? Are they connected directly…..I have one buried under my back lawn? I was advised to move it rather than cover it, but I didn’t want it spoiling the path so we took measurement so that we could find it if we need to gain access. Twelve years on it still under there. Should it not be your choice at the end of the day, do what you want to do.
