can the aco channel be avoided being installed on the front of a driveline which is not being extended into garden ?
first time on site BTW :)Yes basically what I'm saying is , if the old driveway currently has no drainage installed ( linear aco soak away ) if we are replacing the current driveline and not extending is it still needed to install the drainage. I may getting confused as I thought it was only applicable when the drive is being extended into the garden or like.
Or is it regs that all driveways now have to have an aco as standard even if the driveline never had the soakaway originally?

if you are replacing an existing driveway and it discharges onto the road you need to install a linear drain,that runs to a soakaway
