Public Sewers & Build-Over Agreements
If your extension is within 3m of a public sewer, a Build-Over Agreement is required from your local water company.
Since 2011, these underground pipes have been legally protected. This applies especially to terraced and semi-detached homes, where sewers often run through gardens.
- Plan Pros does not handle Build-Over Applications.
- You must contact your water provider if you suspect a sewer is affected.
