Sewer Diversion & Build-over Agreements

If a pipe is adopted by the sewage undertaker and conflicts with development proposals, a formal build over agreement or diversion (under S185 of the Water Industry Act 1991) with the sewerage will be required to agree the works.

Determining whether a diversion or build over is most appropriate will be based on the characteristics of the development including the span of pipe in conflict, and its size and depth as well as an appreciation of costs for undertaking either option.
