Anglian Water Private Sewer Transfer (PST)
Building Control would like to advise you of proposed changes as a result of the Anglian Water Private Sewer Transfer (PST).
Anglian Water have introduced a standard set of criteria in order to minimise the requirement to consult whenever possible.
The criteria relate to gravity sewers only and is as follows:-
- Sewer less than 3m deep
- Sewer 150mm diameter or smaller
- Built over length 6m or less
- No manholes or access points built over
- Suitable foundation design that ensures no loads are imposed on the sewer.
Where the above criteria cannot be met you should consult with Anglian Water via their web site anglianwater.co.uk to ensure compliance with the above legislation.

A new publication has been produced for Suffolk Building Control. The guide focuses on what sustainability means from a Planning and Building Control point of view.
