Building over water & sewer

mcbert

Hi,

I'm looking at a small new development of Semi-Ds, but the only house in it I'm interested in is the one at the end with slightly wider garden, especially at the side - wide enough to extend at the side of the house.

I've gone throught the planning conditions, and there is nothing special mentioned about that house at all, but I notice in the planning drawings there is a sewer and water leading into another estate. In fact, there are no conditions at all that limit the usual planning exempt constructions.

I read planning documents for another new estate nearby with a water or sewer main under the side garden of a similar house, that did say no building anything above it, no shed, no nothing, so I'm surprised it isnt mentioned for this estate.

Or is it in fact no big deal, and it is actually possible to build above it, or move it?

Thanks!

See the ‘yellow’, that’s a wayleave, you would not be allowed to build over it.

As Bryan posted. The yellow box is the wayleave.

OK thanks. So that's the end of that then. The search continues...
