Before you apply Before you apply, there are a few things to think about.

If your property is a new build or conversion, we need a site plan to work out where the pipe needs to go. You can upload one during the application process.

Permission

The land that we need to access must be owned by you, or you’ll need written permission from the landowner for the work.
If you need planning permission, or a local authority permit, please make sure these are in place.
