I had plans for a kitchen extension approved back in 2005 but have only recently got into a position to have the work carried out.
I put in for building regs last week and have received a response from my local council saying that the proposed work is in close proximity to a public sewer and a consultation has taken place with united utilities...we are advised not to commence work until Utd Util's comments have been received.
What I don't understand is if there is a public sewer within close proximity to the proposed extension should it not have been flagged when;
a, the plans were drawn up
b, when my local council were considering the application
I am really worried that the extension may now not go ahead, I feel that this should have been flagged up at an earlier stage.
Can anyone tell me where I stand?
Thanks
Vinny
