RAINCHECK: Ensure your driveway plan allows for sufficient drainage of water through angling, design and/or soakaways.
A law came out in October 2009 about dispersion of water onto the highway which means that people can be charged for dispersing rainwater to the road.
Soakaways or porous blocks or drainage into flower beds are the main options to consider. Be wary about channelling rainwater onto your neighbour’s property. Click for more info on driveways in Cornwall
