Drainage Build Over Agreements in
Yalding
A Yalding extension crossing a public sewer route needs sign-off from Southern Water before work starts. It’s a real, separate approval, and getting the detail right the first time is what keeps the whole thing fast.
Get StartedUnderstanding Yalding’s Build Over Requirements
Where a Yalding project involves building over or within close proximity to a public sewer, Southern 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 Yalding, 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.
This approval runs alongside your Yalding planning permission, not instead of it, both are genuinely needed for a project that involves building near a public sewer.
