The Real Process Explained For Clitheroe

Getting United Utilities’s approval for a Clitheroe 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 Clitheroe projects a CCTV survey forms part of that submission, for others it doesn’t, United Utilities’s requirement depends on the individual site. We’re upfront about which applies before any work starts.

This approval runs alongside your Clitheroe planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.
