Hi,
Thanks for any thoughts. Garden is on a slope. I'm having my front garden taken out and blockpaved so two cars can park instead of one. If you look at the below link, (A) shows the boundary between my driveway (i live on left), and to the right is my neighbour's drive and (B) shows where usually about a 3-4 foot puddle forms for about a day on my neighbours drive when it has rained. The puddle forms as the pavement these days is higher. Everything to left of A will be removed and blockpaved

I am aware of the current law on front garden blockpaving and porous bricks. Anyway, that's the info, now my question. The guy doing the job isn't going to put any form of drainage in. I am thinking I need to put a drainage channel in that leads to surface water sewage sytem. Otherwise I think my neighbour's flooded area will get larger. However looking at this photo, how would a drainage channel attach to the surface water system, how would I go about that?
And one other thing I would appreciate advice on, I've had a look round the local streets and some people have drainage channels in at the end of their blockpaved drive, but the drainage channels don't appear to be leading to any outlet. They are just there. What on earth is the point of that? Surely they will just overflow when full.
Thanks, this is causing me some distress.
