Don't really do patios any more but a regular customer has asked me to do some paving work consisting of a small 90cm wide 5 meter long footpath running down the side of her front garden.

I can camber this path onto a grass area so would presume minimal water drainage going onto the public footpath but some will of course. Does it need a soakaway?

Can't seem to find a definitive answer.

Is it worth asking the local council? I know all areas are different in their specification?

Council won't be too helpful - I'd put an Aco drain at the interface of the new path and the public footpath and drain it to the nearby soft landscaping - for the small amount of water it will collect, this will be fine.
