14 Peveril Avenue Resident
There is a public sewer which runs alongside the boundary of the Creggans and the adjoining property 14 Peveril Avenue.; I would expect MUA to comment on the application as any foundations near to the public sewer may require a higher specification.; It’s not clear from the plans if this has been taken into consideration.
