NI Water will support your application for planning permission where you have a valid pre-development enquiry that identifies no capacity issues.

If you have had to apply for an impact assessment and a solution is agreed with NI Water, we will recommend to the planning authority that your approval is conditioned subject to the delivery of the capacity solution.

If you apply for planning without completing a pre-development enquiry or undertaking an appropriate impact assessment and there are capacity constraints issues, we will recommend to the planning authority that your application should be refused. We will be happy to re-consider our recommendation on completion of an impact assessment by the developer.

Once you have full planning permission we will support you with applications to connect to our Water and Wastewater Network.
