Thanks doggit. Couple of things...
1. If you remember, I did some paving a while back and I have a weed killer fabric which I planned to use under the paving, but you advised it won't do anything. So I never bothered. Could I use this as a permeable membrane???
2. I can't find a supplier locally where they sell a permeable drain and I plan to start this job tomorrow as it's clear weather. Can I buy a standard underground pipe such as THIS and make holes in it?
3. Not sure if I can connect to a surface drain because the perforated pipe is too low, unless you mean some other drain???
4. My plan is to use your method, but I haven't got a soakaway and the ground is solid clay. Can I simply use the land drain to divert the water away from the house to the middle of the driveway? If not, why not?
