Hi,
I am on the verge of starting my single storey extension. I have a party wall agreement with both neighbours and have marked out the necessary area. The foundations are going to be within 1 metre of the a public sewer which runs between mine and a neighbours house.
I have been advised because the foundations are within 1 metre of a public sewer i need to obtain a build close agreement with the water comapany that owns the sewer. I have also been told that this can take up to 8 weeks as they are painfully slow.
What i would like to know is what happens if i just ignore and dig the foundations and then get poured with concrete. The soil is very hard and clay so im sure it will not affect the sewer.
Thanks in advance
Ian
