Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Broadway
Severn Trent Water has to approve any Broadway 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 Broadway’s Build Over Requirements
Where a Broadway 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 Broadway, 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 Broadway 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.
