Utility lines under property?

Thames Water have some great info regarding sewers versus drains and whether you need a build over agreement (or need to obtain permission):

Note last time I had a project with a build over agreement required it added £12k in costs to the job.

I assume that was a large commercial project, rather than putting a shed/extension on a little residential house, right?

Must be, that seems mad

Somewhere between, it's a single storey rear extension and 2 storey side extension to two terraced houses. Ended up being fairly complex gaining approval to build over the sewer due to the size of it and number of properties fed into it and also impacted on the foundation design.

Out of interest, how big was this sewer?
