Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Winslow
Thames Water has to approve any Winslow 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 Winslow’s Build Over Requirements
Thames Water treats build over approval for Winslow as a genuine technical review, focused on foundation design and how the proposed structure interacts with the sewer beneath or beside it. This sits entirely separately from your Winslow planning application.
Whether a CCTV inspection’s needed for a Winslow project depends on the specifics, sometimes the sewer’s route and condition are already well established, sometimes Thames Water wants it confirmed first. We arrange it honestly, only where it’s actually required.
We keep Winslow clients clear on the distinction, Thames Water’s build over approval and planning permission are two separate, real requirements, and missing either causes genuine problems later.
