Rainwater and drainage
If a driveway slopes towards the building, ask for a level survey and a clear drainage proposal.
Why it matters for your tarmac surfacing: Show the direction of falls, where water gathers and every visible channel, gully or discharge point. For tarmac surfacing, it can affect excavation, compaction, course depths, drainage, edge support and the handover programme.
