What would you do?

Forgive me for coming back at this, I asked before re a path around the rear of the house and patio area. Our planning says we need semi permeable. We have groundsman coming back tomorrow night. First time he came he said just use gravel and we didn't need any drains/pipes at the bottom of the slope above patio, he would just widen it a bit as requested and slope.

I think we need a drain, it rains a lot here. Also now is the time to do it. Advice from here was to use MOT for the path. I think mot1 isn't permeable but mot 3 is, was thinking of putting 14mm on top of donegal quartz 14mm on top in the second stage.  Second stage too we will drop kerb, it will be moving the entry slighty to the right, where the silver citroen is parked. 

We looked at a new builds nearby they all use paving slabs. Any thoughts, it would be really appreciated. That brown pipe just was temporary it was just for rodding drains.
