Hi everyone just had block paved drive layed and a aco drain along front of drive as water runs that way onto the road and path.

However the aco drain has just been drilled at the end with no proper soakaway etc, all water from my roof also goes direct onto drive .

I am concerned it will sink over time and cause issues with the mot type 1, so don't know if would be better to just remove the aco drain all together only trouble is I would have to have a cut blocks in it's place as aco is only 13cm wide amd blocks are 17cm or so.

Any advise or opinions welcome. I thought would be a proper soak away fitted so not sure if best to leave or will thos cause more issues down the line or remove or what.

Thanks dean

It's also a very clear breach of planning laws unless it all flooded onto the pavement beforehand, did your contractor arrive on a horse?
