Get StartedWhat Thames Water Actually Needs To See For Hoddesdon
Where a Hoddesdon 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 Hoddesdon, 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.
