I'm looking for some information on methods of routing streams through land that's going to be built on. When I say stream, it's more of a trough of water 50m long but doesn't flow much in a woodland.
I'm looking to build on a plot of land that has a beck/stream running down one side of the boundary from a farmers field past the land and beyond, the water isn't normally flowing but is around 60cm wide and seems to be 60cm deep at some points. To prevent any future flooding to my land in heavy rainfall I was wondering what the best option is for drainage pipes?
Would using the spoil from the land & banking it up parallel to the stream prevent any overflow issues without using drainage pipes? The flow of water seems to of channelled it's own way through, there is also a dried up bed that tees into it.
