Default ripoff - building "over" public sewer

If you want to build within 3 metres of a severn trent sewer, you have
to pay them 750 quid. You have to have a camera survey before and after
done buy a company they specify (back-handers going on wherever you
look), and they have to inspect the full architects plans. I can
understand they want to check you haven't broken a public sewer, but it
seems a bit steep. They only started doing it in 2004. I bet it was
after they were hassled for fixing leaks again.
Any trick to get round this one ?
Simon.
