This map shows the location of some of the larger sewage works that are owned and operated by Northumbrian Water . The data is divided into 2 layers, that can be toggled on and off. Larger Waste Water Treatment Works (WwTW). There was an error retrieving data on Smaller Waste Water Treatment Works (Small WwTW), so these are not shown.
Note: If you click on each marker, you will be able to view asset ID, which is handy for looking things up. Like CSO performance.

Navigating the planning landscape within the Northumbrian Water service area requires a sophisticated understanding of the North East’s diverse environmental and industrial landscape. From the urban regeneration zones of Tyneside and Wearside to the ecologically sensitive borders of Northumberland, our proprietary mapping of sewage treatment works (STW) provides the "True Data" necessary for site vetting. Identifying the proximity of these wastewater assets is critical for assessing development viability and ensuring that planning applications are robust enough to withstand regulatory scrutiny in this strategically important region.
In the North East's major conurbations, the push for housing often places new residential developments on brownfield sites in close proximity to existing wastewater infrastructure. This creates significant risks regarding odour amenity and potential "encroachment" challenges. By utilizing our proprietary Northumbrian Water STW dataset, we perform precision Odour Impact Assessments. We integrate facility-specific source data with local meteorological patterns to ensure that new residential units are positioned outside of high-risk odour contours, protecting the long-term amenity of future occupants.
Nutrient Neutrality has become a pivotal planning hurdle for developments in specific North East catchments, particularly those affecting the River Tees and the River Tweed. Our mapping allows us to identify exactly which Northumbrian Water asset serves a site and determine its specific capability for phosphate or nitrate stripping. This localized geospatial intelligence is essential for drafting Nutrient Neutrality Assessment and Mitigation Strategies (NNAMS) that meet the requirements of Natural England and local planning authorities.
The North East's extensive coastline and estuarine environments make Foul and Surface Water Drainage Strategies particularly complex. Our maps help developers visualize the relationship between their site and the wider Northumbrian Water network, facilitating better-informed decisions regarding mains connections versus sustainable on-site treatment. By identifying nearby assets and potential capacity issues early, we help our clients avoid the "Section 106" infrastructure delays often associated with wastewater discharge in coastal regions.
Whether you are dealing with a Newcastle city-center redevelopment or a rural Northumberland planning application, our Northumbrian Water dataset provides the scientific foundation for your Planning Statement. This "True Data" approach moves beyond generic desktop surveys, offering site-specific insights that are vital for discharging planning conditions. This technical capability is a key reason why SWEL has successfully delivered over 900 projects across the UK, providing a level of geospatial detail that generic reports cannot match.
