Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Gerrards Cross (Buckinghamshire)
A Gerrards Cross extension crossing a public sewer route needs sign-off from Thames 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 StartedWhat Thames Water Actually Needs To See For Gerrards Cross
Where a Gerrards Cross project involves building over or within close proximity to a public sewer, Thames 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 Gerrards Cross, 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.
