Understanding Great Dunmow’s Build Over Requirements

Getting Anglian Water’s approval for a Great Dunmow build over agreement means submitting real structural detail, not just a general description, showing exactly how the foundation design accounts for the sewer’s presence.

For some Great Dunmow projects a CCTV survey forms part of that submission, for others it doesn’t, Anglian Water’s requirement depends on the individual site. We’re upfront about which applies before any work starts.

We keep Great Dunmow 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.
