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 Lancing we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Around Lancing, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Lancing include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Lancing
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.

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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Lancing jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Do I need planning permission in Lancing?
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.
