Understanding Atherstone’s Build Over Requirements

Severn Trent Water treats build over approval for Atherstone 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 Atherstone planning application.

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

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