Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Rolvenden
Southern Water has to approve any Rolvenden 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 Rolvenden’s Build Over Requirements
Getting Southern Water’s approval for a Rolvenden 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 Rolvenden projects a CCTV survey forms part of that submission, for others it doesn’t, Southern Water’s requirement depends on the individual site. We’re upfront about which applies before any work starts.
Every Rolvenden enquiry gets checked against both requirements honestly, planning permission and Southern Water’s build over agreement, since conflating the two causes real delay.
