Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Tunbridge Wells
Southern Water has to approve any Tunbridge Wells 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 Tunbridge Wells
Getting Southern Water’s approval for a Tunbridge Wells 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 Tunbridge Wells 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.
