Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Clydebank
Scottish Water has to approve any Clydebank 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 Clydebank’s Build Over Requirements
Where a Clydebank project involves building over or within close proximity to a public sewer, Scottish 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 Clydebank, 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 Clydebank clients clear on the distinction, Scottish Water’s build over approval and planning permission are two separate, real requirements, and missing either causes genuine problems later.

Genuinely detailed, Scottish Water needs to see exactly how the foundation design for Clydebank accounts for the sewer’s presence, not a general description.
