Get StartedWhat Dwr Cymru Welsh Water Actually Needs To See For Aberavon
Where a Aberavon project involves building over or within close proximity to a public sewer, Dwr Cymru Welsh Water needs to formally approve it, a genuinely separate process from planning permission, running alongside it rather than replacing it.
A CCTV survey of the existing sewer is sometimes required as part of this in Aberavon, though not always, it depends on how well documented the sewer’s exact route and condition already are. We arrange one where it’s genuinely needed, not as a blanket extra.
This approval runs alongside your Aberavon planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.
