Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Basildon
Anglian Water has to approve any Basildon build that goes over or close to a public sewer, a genuine requirement that sits alongside, not instead of, planning permission. We handle the structural and design detail properly, and move quickly.
Get StartedUnderstanding Basildon’s Build Over Requirements
Anglian Water treats build over approval for Basildon 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 Basildon planning application.
Whether a CCTV inspection’s needed for a Basildon project depends on the specifics, sometimes the sewer’s route and condition are already well established, sometimes Anglian Water wants it confirmed first. We arrange it honestly, only where it’s actually required.
This approval runs alongside your Basildon planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.

How We Help in Basildon
For Basildon projects, we establish the real picture first, exactly where the sewer runs, what’s being proposed, and what Anglian Water’s specific requirements are for a site like this.
Once that’s clear, the submission gets built around what Anglian Water will actually assess, with a CCTV survey arranged only where it’s genuinely called for.
Once submitted, we track your Basildon application with Anglian Water closely, since fast turnaround only works if nothing gets left to chase.
