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

Once that’s clear, the submission gets built around what Thames Water will actually assess, with a CCTV survey arranged only where it’s genuinely called for.
Fairford submissions to Thames Water get followed through properly, with anything they raise addressed directly and promptly.
