Hi, I'm about to start installing some land drains in my back garden. I'm connecting them into a storm water inspection chamber. Is it normal to have to consult local building control to get consent to do such a connection?
On another point, is there any rule of thumb as to whether the land drains should run across the slope of the garden or run down the slope? I can't see any difference other than running down the slope would save a little bit of excavation but running across which is my preferred option would intercept water as it permeates down the hill better.
