Southern Water:  No objection but requires an application for a connection to the public foul and surface water sewer to be made by the applicant/ developer.

The following informative be attached to any planning permission that may be granted.

INFORMATIVE:

A formal application is required for connection to the public sewerage system to service this development  contact Southern Water, Sparrowgrove House, Sparrowgrove, Otterbourne, Hampshire SO21 2SW (Tel: 0330 303 0119) or www.southernwater.co.uk”.

It is the responsibility of the developer to make suitable provision for the disposal of surface water. When it is proposed to connect to a public sewer the prior approval of Southern Water is required.

Due to changes in legislation that came in to force on 1st October 2011 regarding future ownership of sewers it is possible that a sewer now deemed to be public could be crossing the above property. Should any sewer be found an investigation of the sewer will be required to ascertain its condition, the number of properties served, and potential means of access before any further works commence on site.

The applicant is advised to discuss the matter further with Southern Water, Sparrowgrove House, Sparrowgrove, Otterbourne, Hampshire SO21 2SW (Tel: 0330 303 0119) or www.southernwater.co.uk”.
