Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Cranfield
Anglian Water has to approve any Cranfield 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 Anglian Water Actually Needs To See For Cranfield
Anglian Water treats build over approval for Cranfield 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 Cranfield planning application.
Whether a CCTV inspection’s needed for a Cranfield project depends on the specifics, sometimes the sewer’s route and condition are already well established, sometimes Anglian Water wants it confirmed first. We arrange it honestly, only where it’s actually required.
We keep Cranfield clients clear on the distinction, Anglian Water’s build over approval and planning permission are two separate, real requirements, and missing either causes genuine problems later.
