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.
Before quoting groundworks in Selby we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Selby are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Selby we can price work such as replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Selby
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
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. Laying days in Selby are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

Driveway drainage and soakaways in Selby: questions
Do I need planning permission in Selby?
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.
