Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Havant
A Havant extension crossing a public sewer route needs sign-off from Southern 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 Havant
Getting Southern Water’s approval for a Havant 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 Havant projects a CCTV survey forms part of that submission, for others it doesn’t, Southern Water’s requirement depends on the individual site. We’re upfront about which applies before any work starts.
Every Havant enquiry gets checked against both requirements honestly, planning permission and Southern Water’s build over agreement, since conflating the two causes real delay.
