Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Rugby
Severn Trent Water has to approve any Rugby 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 StartedThe Real Process Explained For Rugby
Getting Severn Trent Water’s approval for a Rugby 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 Rugby 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 Rugby planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.

How We Help in Rugby
For Rugby projects, we establish the real picture first, exactly where the sewer runs, what’s being proposed, and what Severn Trent Water’s specific requirements are for a site like this.
Once that’s clear, the submission gets built around what Severn Trent Water will actually assess, with a CCTV survey arranged only where it’s genuinely called for.
Rugby submissions to Severn Trent Water get followed through properly, with anything they raise addressed directly and promptly.
Getting Rugby Build Over Approval Right First Time
Attention to detail matters more here than almost anywhere else, Severn Trent Water genuinely scrutinises the structural picture for Rugby projects near a sewer.
Being honest about whether a Rugby project needs a CCTV survey, rather than assuming either way, keeps both cost and timeline realistic.
Every Rugby enquiry gets handled with the attention to detail Severn Trent Water expects, not rushed just to hit a fast turnaround.

Is a build over agreement the same as planning permission in Rugby?
They’re two real, distinct requirements. Rugby projects near a public sewer often need both planning permission and separate approval from Severn Trent Water.
When does Severn Trent Water require a CCTV inspection in Rugby?
It genuinely varies. Where the sewer’s route and condition are already well documented, Severn Trent Water may not require one for Rugby, otherwise we arrange it.
Who approves a build over agreement in Rugby?
In Rugby, Severn Trent Water handles this specific approval, entirely separate from your local council’s planning process.
How detailed do my Rugby drawings need to be for build over approval?
Genuinely detailed, Severn Trent Water needs to see exactly how the foundation design for Rugby accounts for the sewer’s presence, not a general description.
How long does build over approval take in Rugby?
Timelines vary by workload, but a properly prepared Rugby submission to Severn Trent Water moves faster than one that needs revisions.
Does the initial assessment for Rugby cost anything?
The initial Rugby consultation is free, you’ll know the real requirements before committing to anything further.
