Get StartedThe Real Process Explained For Takeley
Where a Takeley 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 Takeley, 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.
