Sounds like you're all set. Our driveway is just about 1/4-mile long and I cleared most of it with a brush axe over 30-years ago leading to what was a dairy farm, so I could try to keep it mowed before the cedars took over after the cows moved.

We needed a functioning, approved, and tested well before we could apply for a building permit. The septic was just about the last thing that went in but the hydrologist had already submitted the septic plan for approval which around here requires a second backup field available for future use.
