Understanding Mildenhall’s Build Over Requirements

Where a Mildenhall 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 Mildenhall, 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 Mildenhall planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.

How We Help in Mildenhall

For Mildenhall projects, we establish the real picture first, exactly where the sewer runs, what’s being proposed, and what Anglian Water’s specific requirements are for a site like this.

Once that’s clear, the submission gets built around what Anglian Water will actually assess, with a CCTV survey arranged only where it’s genuinely called for.

Once submitted, we track your Mildenhall application with Anglian Water closely, since fast turnaround only works if nothing gets left to chase.
