Extending over or near a public sewer in Thrapston needs approval from Severn Trent Water, entirely separate from planning permission itself. Getting the structural detail right the first time keeps this fast, without cutting corners.
Get StartedUnderstanding Thrapston’s Build Over Requirements
Where a Thrapston project involves building over or within close proximity to a public sewer, Severn Trent 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 Thrapston, 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.
We keep Thrapston clients clear on the distinction, Severn Trent Water’s build over approval and planning permission are two separate, real requirements, and missing either causes genuine problems later.
