Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Boston
Anglian Water has to approve any Boston 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 Boston’s Build Over Requirements
Getting Anglian Water’s approval for a Boston 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 Boston projects a CCTV survey forms part of that submission, for others it doesn’t, Anglian Water’s requirement depends on the individual site. We’re upfront about which applies before any work starts.
This approval runs alongside your Boston planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.

How We Help in Boston
Every Boston enquiry starts with locating the sewer route relative to the proposed build, and working out honestly whether Anglian Water will need a CCTV survey as part of the submission.
From there, we prepare the structural and design detail Anglian Water genuinely needs to see for Boston, built to satisfy their technical review, not just a generic template.
Once submitted, we track your Boston application with Anglian Water closely, since fast turnaround only works if nothing gets left to chase.
