What driveway drainage and soakaways involve
Driveway drainage collects surface water and takes it to somewhere it can soak away safely, usually with a linear channel drain across the drive and a soakaway crate or rubble pit in the garden. It is needed where a drive is impermeable or slopes towards the house or garage.
Groundwork prices in Gosport depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Gosport has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Across Hampshire, the projects we price include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Gosport
Surface water from a drive should stay on your property or go to a suitable soakaway or surface water drain. It should not run onto the road or be connected to a foul sewer. Soakaways are sited away from buildings.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.

Do I need planning permission in Gosport?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
