Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Cradley Heath
Severn Trent Water has to approve any Cradley Heath 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 StartedWhat Severn Trent Water Actually Needs To See For Cradley Heath
Severn Trent Water treats build over approval for Cradley Heath as a genuine technical review, focused on foundation design and how the proposed structure interacts with the sewer beneath or beside it. This sits entirely separately from your Cradley Heath planning application.
Whether a CCTV inspection’s needed for a Cradley Heath project depends on the specifics, sometimes the sewer’s route and condition are already well established, sometimes Severn Trent Water wants it confirmed first. We arrange it honestly, only where it’s actually required.
This approval runs alongside your Cradley Heath planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.
