My neighbor just put a block drive in and had it run directly towards my lawn and drive with no drain in the middle!!

Is this legal?

Can he just run his waste rain water onto my property?

There is a huge slope and it will direct all his water onto my lawn and drive!



He is smaller than me and may need a smack!

RA Dunk

Dunno if you can or not but think you should smack him anyway, just because he's smaller than you and you can!!

Not sure about the legalities of it but maybe you could have a word with him as it may just be something he's overlooked... Always best to try and sort it out like gentlemen

Sack the selfish coont, he obviously has no respect for you as a neighbour or a boss.

Done a few drives mate he should have a soak away installed with drain grates and all water should slope to this so I would say call your local council and explain this problem I'm sure they will make him sort it out
If he has no drainage at all then it's not done right
Hope you get it sorted mate

A mate of mine lives in the end of a block of five terraced houses. The entire length of guttering from the terrace ends in a down pipe on his house and dumps all of the collected rainfall from five roofs on his driveway.
He's not a happy bunny when it rains!

RA Dunk

Not a lot of thought gone into that one then, for all the price of plastic drain pipes would it not be an option getting each house done?

concrete a pin curb along the end of your lawn so that way if it does flood it will flood his drive and not yours

Don't think he's got any say in the matter, I know he's tried in the past.

Pin curb is exactly what i thought..... i'd tell him before i'd do it just to freak him out a little!!

Worlasshasansti

I don't believe you can shed water from your property onto someone elses, he needs to run a kerb (pin or blocks) down his boundary to contain the water or indeed a chanel drain (plastic Chanel will do if it see's no traffic) to catch and then run into his storm drains if not combined.

It sounds like he's not put much thought into it and treated it like a joke but in all seriousness after any prolonged rain etc your lawn is gonna be fu*ked.

Imagine he changed his cars oil on his drive dropped a boll*ck and spilt the oil.........interesting lol.

Contact the council. I am pretty sure he now needs planning for block paving, and needs to have suitable drainage built into the system either channel drains as mentioned or different block pacing that has drainage features built in (ie. Marshalls priora paving)

Best thing to do is power wash the sand out of the blocks, then throw loads of grass seed down then brush some more sand back in

^^ it won't stop your garden flooding but will annoy the **** out of him!

lovinmescoob

Now thats bl**dy funny

chopperman

I think if you tarmac or concrete/ brick a garden or driveway that was a drainable surface, you should go through planning or building regs. I'm sure i heard this somewhere but could be myth.

nyscooby

the law on this is controlled by the Land Drainage Act 1930.......

but still no closer to the answer

marshall332bhp

Winter pay off sounds like the answer.

RA Dunk

Is this before or after his whole garden has frozen over?

Id explain the error of his ways, and if he refuses to sort it out kick the **** out of him, just because you can and it will make you feel better Or collect all the water and pump it back onto his lawn!

But it never rains in Vegas so you should be ok.

Sack him for gross missing ducting.

If he hasn't laid a porous surface or arranged for the water to drain in to soak-aways on his property then he needs planning permission. I'd ask him if the surface is porous and if it isn't speak to your local council.

Soak away
