Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Codsall
Extending over or near a public sewer in Codsall needs approval from Severn Trent Water, entirely separate from planning permission itself. Getting the structural detail right the first time keeps this fast, without cutting corners.
Get StartedUnderstanding Codsall’s Build Over Requirements
Where a Codsall 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 Codsall, 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 Codsall enquiry gets checked against both requirements honestly, planning permission and Severn Trent Water’s build over agreement, since conflating the two causes real delay.
