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