New Drains & Drainage Services in Christchurch
Christchurch is one of Dorset's most characterful towns, with a rich mix of period properties around the Priory and the high street, modern estates in Somerford, and coastal homes at Mudeford and Highcliffe. We have worked extensively across Christchurch and know the local planning environment well — including the conservation area restrictions that apply to properties near the Priory and the town centre, where sympathetic material choices are particularly important.
A surface is only as good as what lies beneath. We provide comprehensive drainage solutions including SUDS-compliant soakaways, linear channel drains, ACO drains, and complete foul drainage connections. Since 2008, all new impermeable driveways over 5 square metres require planning permission unless adequate drainage is provided. Our team designs and installs compliant systems that satisfy local planning requirements while protecting your property from surface water flooding. We also install new foul drainage runs, inspection chambers, and connections to public sewers.
Planning & Drainage in Christchurch
Christchurch sits within BCP Council's area and drainage requirements follow BCP's SUDS policy. The River Avon and the Stour run through the town, and surface water management is taken seriously by BCP planners — we design every drainage system to ensure surface water is dealt with on your property and does not overload the local network.
