People should be concerned about runoff, but they are not. 4 paved front gardens have gone in on our street in the last few months, not one of them has a soakaway, they drain straight onto the pavement and road.
No, you don't need it around here, it's a 30 quid licence from the Council. I've noticed that more recent ones have a gully at the front as IF they are leading to a soakaway.
