According to the highway code parking within 10M of a junction is not allowed. If they yellow lines are enforcing this rule then I think you will be wasting your time

Taxing your rubbish by weight will do two things, increase fly tipping and increase domestic burning of refuse. The people that dream up these schemes must have their heads stuck up their own r's half the time. Fly tipping is already on the increase because householders are being limited as...

I would install linear drainage along the house, at the lowest point. Alternatively, you could dig into the hill for the patio and put a small retaining wall and steps in to make a nice feature. :wink:
