The rear extension would be under permitted development, I'm guessing if St Water has sewer running close to it you'd still need a boa am I right?

Theres a rodding eye right at the back of my property where the rear extension will go, I plan on getting a CCTV survey of that done. Im hoping that will help us determine where it goes into the sewer. If the sewer even is in my back garden... Well it must connect to a sewer somewhere so...

Yes, she has just confirmed in an email that no BOA is needed for the side extension. This is the large extension and is the part that would add value to the house and allow me to have 4 extra rooms and a bathroom. So main problem solved. The rear extension just involves knocking down...

Well the lady I was dealing with, rang back . She said I wouldnt need any BOA for the side extension. We were planning to demolish the existing rear extension and do a new one, she said when you do that just let us know how far from the downpipe the drain goes down to. So a bit better now.

This thing is not resolved much to my ire, I am loosing patience with STW. They admitted theyre records were wrong regarding 2x225mm pipes running underground the side of my property. They then instructed me to confirm internal drainage layout at the rear my property, I have no manholes so...

Right another update. Drainage company that STW recommended came down today, the chap couldnt find manholes in mine or neighbouring properties. Couldnt put a camera down said drain due to traffic and parked cars. But he did open it up, and insisted it does not go through my property, they...

Digging didnt do the job, 2.2 metre down we dug and 2 metre wide in the front garden where the sewer is supposed to be according to diagrams. Found nowt. Cost £270 not as much as I thought it would, one day digger and driver hire. We opened the manhole in the road(3.3M Deep). From the...

Well I got a new architect, they seem alot more professional. First job is to find out the depth of the existing sewer pipe. Got drainage survey in on monday, will tell them to also check neighbours manhole. I think its the foul water one. No manholes in my property. And if the manholes...

Yes, I can see the option for 225mm sewer build over agreement. I think I'll have to contact ST water and find out if I need a class 2 or 3 application. Also need to find somebody decent in the Birmingham area to help me do this, this architect getting the sack monday.

Thats the rear conservatory and that wall to the left is where I want the extension. Is that drain where a green pipe is coming out of a manhole cover?

I just noticed this from the surveyors report "The rear extension and conservatory appear to have been built over a drain. The extension, however, appears to have been built before the need for a Build Over Agreement with the local water company" This is directly behind my house. Could the...

Yes its severn trent. No I cant see any drains on that side of my property where the pipes supposedly run. However I did see one just outside my main house in my rear garden. I may take some pictures, as im not very good at these things.

Hi guys, we bought a old 1930s detached property we knew that it would require work and we had the idea to build a double storey extension on the side. I recently instructed a architect in this matter, we knew there was a sewer running but never knew how it would affect us (naivety..)...
