Struggling to solve the problem of a waterlogged clay garden, I’m considering making use of the second connection on a new plastic gully which I intend to install in the course of digging up an old concrete path and resurfacing with paving. The existing clayware gully which is being replaced takes waste water from the kitchen sink and washing machine to the foul drain (my property has separate surface and foul drainage).
My plan is to lay a land drain from the waterlogged part of the garden to the gully’s second connection so that any excess surface water discharges into the foul drainage. A soakaway isn’t practical due to the depth of the clay subsoil.
Would this arrangement be likely to break any water bye laws?
