Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Tenterden
Southern Water has to approve any Tenterden 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 Tenterden’s Build Over Requirements
Getting Southern Water’s approval for a Tenterden 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 Tenterden 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.
We keep Tenterden clients clear on the distinction, Southern Water’s build over approval and planning permission are two separate, real requirements, and missing either causes genuine problems later.
