Alan Ambrose Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Along the front of our plot, there's a little ditch (which I've only ever seen dry) and some bits of 300mm plastic culvert with a bit of hardcore thrown over where the entrance to the plot is. This is also the end of the ditch as we're on the top of a very, very shallow hill. Extract from topo below - see the bit marked 'ditch' and 'line of u/g pipe'. It drains to the left/west. I think we have to re-make the entranceway to support concrete trucks etc and I'm wondering whether we should just fill in the ditch entirely after ensuring we have adequate drainage there - maybe with 300mm concrete culvert instead of plastic with junctions for french drains etc from the driveway. Can we do this with minimum official faff? If not, I plan to just redo what's there already and re-instate with a tougher make-up. Any thoughts?

saveasteading Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Good information makes this easier than sometimes. The pan shows a 300mm underground pipe. If that is already there then the job seems to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandgmitchell Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I'd agree; what's the worst that can happen - someone turns up and says "you should have told us". If the pipe is a direct replacement for the size and is stronger then there's not a lot they can say.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
