If it’s a shared drain its now owned by the sewerage company (and therefore they are responsible for maintenance) and any building work will require their consent.

And Water companies haven't generally updated their plans to show all the former private sewers that they took over automatically ion that date.helps show who owns what, this all changed in October 2011
In my area I know of roads where it is pretty obvious they still haven't recorded all the sewers they got stuck with in 1937!RICHARD WEBSTER
As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.0 -
Hi yes that's right I rang Yorkshire water & they said its not in there records but the searches show that it's not connected to a public sewer, I'm lost what does this mean don't mean to sound silly but I really don't have a clue I just want to know if I can do an extension0
