Drainage Build Over Agreements in
March (Cambridgeshire)
Extending over or near a public sewer in March needs approval from Anglian Water, entirely separate from planning permission itself. Getting the structural detail right the first time keeps this fast, without cutting corners.
Get StartedWhat Anglian Water Actually Needs To See For March
Where a March project involves building over or within close proximity to a public sewer, Anglian 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 March, 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.
Every March enquiry gets checked against both requirements honestly, planning permission and Anglian Water’s build over agreement, since conflating the two causes real delay.

How We Help in March (Cambridgeshire)
Every March enquiry starts with locating the sewer route relative to the proposed build, and working out honestly whether Anglian Water will need a CCTV survey as part of the submission.
From there, we prepare the structural and design detail Anglian Water genuinely needs to see for March, built to satisfy their technical review, not just a generic template.
Given how much attention to detail Anglian Water expects for a March build over approval, we stay engaged throughout, right up to a decision.
Getting March Build Over Approval Right First Time
Every March submission to Anglian Water gets checked properly before it goes in, since a poorly prepared application slows down the fast turnaround we’re aiming for.
Being honest about whether a March project needs a CCTV survey, rather than assuming either way, keeps both cost and timeline realistic.
Whatever a March project actually involves, structural detail, design detail, or both, we prepare it properly for Anglian Water from the outset.
