Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Eastwood
A Eastwood extension crossing a public sewer route needs sign-off from Severn Trent Water before work starts. It’s a real, separate approval, and getting the detail right the first time is what keeps the whole thing fast.
Get StartedThe Real Process Explained For Eastwood
Where a Eastwood 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 Eastwood, 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 Eastwood clients clear on the distinction, Severn Trent Water’s build over approval and planning permission are two separate, real requirements, and missing either causes genuine problems later.
