Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Bourton-on-the-Water
Wessex Water has to approve any Bourton-on-the-Water 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 StartedWhat Wessex Water Actually Needs To See For Bourton-on-the-Water
Where a Bourton-on-the-Water project involves building over or within close proximity to a public sewer, Wessex Water needs to formally approve it, a genuinely separate process from planning permission, running alongside it rather than replacing it.
A CCTV survey of the existing sewer is sometimes required as part of this in Bourton-on-the-Water, though not always, it depends on how well documented the sewer’s exact route and condition already are. We arrange one where it’s genuinely needed, not as a blanket extra.
We keep Bourton-on-the-Water clients clear on the distinction, Wessex Water’s build over approval and planning permission are two separate, real requirements, and missing either causes genuine problems later.
