Permissions and frontage
If the property borders a ditch or watercourse, confirm responsibilities and any consents before changing drainage.
Why it matters for your driveway repair: Confirm the property-specific position with the named authority before the design and price are finalised. For a driveway repair, it helps distinguish a local defect from movement, drainage or base problems that need a wider scope.
