Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Staines-upon-Thames
A Staines-upon-Thames extension crossing a public sewer route needs sign-off from Thames 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 Staines-upon-Thames’s Build Over Requirements
Where a Staines-upon-Thames 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 Staines-upon-Thames, 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 Staines-upon-Thames planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.
