The Real Process Explained For Llanelli

Where a Llanelli project involves building over or within close proximity to a public sewer, Dwr Cymru Welsh 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 Llanelli, 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.

This approval runs alongside your Llanelli planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.
