Plan details
Applicants drawings should include a plan and sufficient sections to adequately show the position of the building relative to the
sewer. A location plan indicating the position of the building work relative to site boundaries, highways and other identifiable
features is also required. Drawings submitted for building regulations are usually sufficient as long as the sewer is clearly and
accurately plotted in relation to the proposed works. Applicants should not scale from our sewer records. Site plans should be
at 1:50 or 1:100 scale or larger.
