I am currrently renewing all my plumbing in a bathroom and the soil pipe was venting into the loft with a vent cap on the end. The pipe is on the inside of the wall and I am now putting a bath on that wall. I have removed the piping and now just have a 90degree bend under the floor. I am going to reroute the piping under parallel with wall and out the head end of the bath to the new WC. However I do not have a vent pipe/stack. What is the best way to approach this. Your help is appreciated.

Sorry I meant an AAV on the end. Would it be best to go as far as knocking a hole in the outside wall and venting it as far as the eave? This would mean putting a bend in the the vent pipe and not vertical from the base is this ok?
I believe there is an issue with now running it outside. There is a bigger issue . I can't see how you can get an aav above the flood level unless under the bath you also t off and go to an adjacent room then up in the corner in a boxed in section. It seems you have removed a boxed in stack to fit your bath into a different place is that so? Otherwise you should still have the existing stack. Whatever the case you are in a muddle now which we could have preempted but can't fix. You could go round to building control and say "I've removed my soil stack to re arrange my bathroom so I now have no vent or aav, can I please put a bit of pipe up my outside wall to make provision?" see what they say, I don't think they'll say, "why not go and ask on diynot, those guys can sort you out".
