The Real Process Explained For Harlech

Dwr Cymru Welsh Water treats build over approval for Harlech 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 Harlech planning application.

Whether a CCTV inspection’s needed for a Harlech project depends on the specifics, sometimes the sewer’s route and condition are already well established, sometimes Dwr Cymru Welsh Water wants it confirmed first. We arrange it honestly, only where it’s actually required.
