Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Braunstone
A Braunstone extension crossing a public sewer route needs sign-off from Severn Trent 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 Braunstone’s Build Over Requirements
Where a Braunstone project involves building over or within close proximity to a public sewer, Severn Trent 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 Braunstone, 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.
Every Braunstone enquiry gets checked against both requirements honestly, planning permission and Severn Trent Water’s build over agreement, since conflating the two causes real delay.
