What Severn Trent Water Actually Needs To See For Turvey

Getting Severn Trent Water’s approval for a Turvey 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 Turvey projects a CCTV survey forms part of that submission, for others it doesn’t, Severn Trent Water’s requirement depends on the individual site. We’re upfront about which applies before any work starts.

We keep Turvey 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.

The Careful Approach To Turvey Build Over Agreements
