you'll probably need to contact a drain clearing specialist. They usually try to clear the blockage first by using a high pressure water jet. If you're not sure if it's only your drain that's blocked or if you need advice on choosing a specialist contractor contact your Local Environmental Health Office

I assume that rwp means rain water pipe. Can you re-position the rwp? If neccessary ask planning for an adjustment to the drawings and explain why. Usually no cost and minimum delay involved. On a wrap-around extension does that mean that your gutter outlet can be positioned nearer to the front of the building?

Another alternative is to take the rain water to a soakaway, not to the soil water drain. Check the drawings carefully, this might be what the architect had in mind.
