Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Blaby
Severn Trent Water has to approve any Blaby 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 Blaby’s Build Over Requirements
Getting Severn Trent Water’s approval for a Blaby build over agreement means submitting real structural detail, not just a general description, showing exactly how the foundation design accounts for the sewer’s presence.
For some Blaby projects a CCTV survey forms part of that submission, for others it doesn’t, Severn Trent Water’s requirement depends on the individual site. We’re upfront about which applies before any work starts.
We keep Blaby 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.
