Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Braunton
A Braunton extension crossing a public sewer route needs sign-off from South West 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 StartedWhat South West Water Actually Needs To See For Braunton
Where a Braunton project involves building over or within close proximity to a public sewer, South West 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 Braunton, 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 Braunton clients clear on the distinction, South West Water’s build over approval and planning permission are two separate, real requirements, and missing either causes genuine problems later.
