What Southern Water Actually Needs To See For Dymchurch

Southern Water treats build over approval for Dymchurch as a genuine technical review, focused on foundation design and how the proposed structure interacts with the sewer beneath or beside it. This sits entirely separately from your Dymchurch planning application.

Whether a CCTV inspection’s needed for a Dymchurch project depends on the specifics, sometimes the sewer’s route and condition are already well established, sometimes Southern Water wants it confirmed first. We arrange it honestly, only where it’s actually required.

We keep Dymchurch clients clear on the distinction, Southern Water’s build over approval and planning permission are two separate, real requirements, and missing either causes genuine problems later.
