Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Market Harborough
A Market Harborough extension crossing a public sewer route needs sign-off from Severn Trent 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 StartedUnderstanding Market Harborough’s Build Over Requirements
Getting Severn Trent Water’s approval for a Market Harborough 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 Market Harborough projects a CCTV survey forms part of that submission, for others it doesn’t, Severn Trent Water’s requirement depends on the individual site. We’re upfront about which applies before any work starts.
This approval runs alongside your Market Harborough planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.
