Building over or near a public sewer

In North Somerset public sewers are the responsibility of Wessex Water.

If you intend to build over or within three metres of a sewer owned by Wessex Water, you will need written agreement from the company.

You must not use  a Building Notice application in this situation, a Full Plans application must be used instead.

Wessex Water may specify certain conditions for the building work as part of the agreement, and may also a charge a fee to cover its costs.
