Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Bagshot
A Bagshot extension crossing a public sewer route needs sign-off from Thames Water before work starts. It’s a real, separate approval, and getting the detail right the first time is what keeps the whole thing fast.
Get StartedUnderstanding Bagshot’s Build Over Requirements
Thames Water treats build over approval for Bagshot 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 Bagshot planning application.
Whether a CCTV inspection’s needed for a Bagshot project depends on the specifics, sometimes the sewer’s route and condition are already well established, sometimes Thames Water wants it confirmed first. We arrange it honestly, only where it’s actually required.
This approval runs alongside your Bagshot planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.
