Hi Guys,
First post and thank you in advance for any advice given.
Ive had an offer accepted on a house and the plan was to extend to the side to create a kitchen dinner and put a utility in the back of the garage.
It all looked very simple. However, I have just had the searches back and there is a public sewer running under the garage and what looks like the corner of the house. The house was built in 1966 so I doubt there is permission to build over the sewer.
The proposed extension would be going over the sewer further and also adding a utility in the garage will be building over the sewer.
The sewer is 470mm clay pipe (combined sewer), depth of approx 3.87m to invert. Owned by severn trent.
Before I start putting more money into CCTV survey, electro location survey, detailed plans and the build over application I would like to know:
1. What is the likely hood of severn trent giving permission to build over?
2. Has anyone had experience with this before?
3. If severn trent were to give permission to build over is the build cost going to significantly increase due to the sewer?
I have attached current and proposed plan of the house and marked roughly where the sewer runs.
Also attached plan of sewers from severn trent. Plot in question highlighted in yellow.
Thanks
