Drawings been done, then I can obtain quote from Civil engineers to do it, it's one of Anglian's 'approved contractors' but they are private companies. You can have your own builder, but they have to jump through so much to be allowed to work on it, paperwork and red tape.

They want us to pay twice for the sewer diversions, so we fund all costs of moving two public sewers off our land one, pay all legal fees, compo to the council as it's been re-laid on their land where all other public services run. We then have to give Anglian the same ammount of money again...

Permitted devolpment for this build, no planning permission required. Short of demolishing the house impossible to change the plans we would have to reverse the entire house around on on the ground level. Or demolish the enitre site to and have the exteneded garage on the otherside of the plot.

The house doesn't meet building regulations either in 1994 when it was built, let alone now. Paperwork for the spec of the house held by the council doesn't match with the existing house as it stands now. We can't extend anywhere without diverting the pipes. Anglian are not helpful.

It's stopped everything, ground level has already been dropped ready for piling and now we are static - we've been told this house should have never been signed off, movment costs I have no intention of us paying for whatsoever

Anybody ever had this or think this is even legal. In 1994 we bought a new build house. We are just about to add an extension. However, there are two large public sewer pipes suddenly flag that run within varying distance of between 100mm and 500mm of the house and garage and is stopping us...

Nope, if not built according to regs at that time, hey have nothing to stand on my two cents else they cover the costs of diverting it

I have to divert it, the surface water one we are not touching far too much to move, pipe is huge. The foul is 360mm wide x 400mm deep measured internally. No access holes are in our property they are on a public green area, so are outside our boundary. Our piling contractor did work in...

Does anyone have experiecne of Anglian Water and build over agreements. I have two public wastes running under my garden and the man holes just outside on public land. Run I believe it runs directly under the house and garage extended area. Anglian Water are not helpful and they documenation...

I have hit another issue with my build. I have two man hole covers on public land jsut outside my property and the Land regisrty deeds showing dashes running though where we are piling for the build. I have been told to get a CCTV report and and drain trace to mark out exactly where these run...

Thanks Ken, I do have to be careful due to medium pressure gas pipes x2 and a gas main just over the boundary will take a look. How does one check they are not been ripped off...

They are bored, no soils invesitagtion, we have a 7ft deep hole to detect the existing house footings which go down past 7ft. Plus on land just outside out boundary we have 40/50ft+ trees. Building inspector said strip would need to be at least as deep as house. Hence piling to stop costs going...

Building inspector said footings would need to be at least as deep as house, so waste removal and concerate in becomes sky high. The 16K + vat is the piles and a floating concerate raft. The foundation change has added almost 20K for the build. Think it's about 11 or 12 piles if memory serves.

Can someone please help, we are building a single level extention. 4m out from the house and garage by 12.55m long. The house footings go down past 7ft so strip foundations are out, due to 50+ft trees near. How much should a piled soltiuon be with a floating raft. I think 16K + vat is a rip off....
