Hello
I was hoping someone could help us / provide some advice.
We are in the process of buying a house with the purpose of extending it to the side and rear.
The searches just came back and there is a "Public Foul Sewer" running through the side and the back of the house (brown line), giving us no chance to extend without building over it.
We like the house, the location, and the area, but we really need to be able to extend it.
We understand we can ask for permission to build over and potentially move the manhole access at our cost, but our question is: is it common to get permission to do this? Or is this too complicated or costly to obtain?
Has anyone gone through a similar process?
Thanks
