Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Nailsworth
Thames Water has to approve any Nailsworth build that goes over or close to a public sewer, a genuine requirement that sits alongside, not instead of, planning permission. We handle the structural and design detail properly, and move quickly.
Get StartedUnderstanding Nailsworth’s Build Over Requirements
Where a Nailsworth 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 Nailsworth, 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 Nailsworth planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.
