- Build the crossingBuilt by an approved contractor with street works accreditation and the right insurance, working under the council's permit. We hold the NRSWA street works qualification and can build the crossing for you, then build the driveway behind it so the levels line up.
- Build the drivewayThe drive behind the kerb is built to drain to your own ground, so no water runs onto the road.

Ground, drainage and conservation in Ryhall
Ryhall is on the limestone, which generally drains well, but the Gwash runs through the village and ground near the river is wetter. We check each site before choosing between a soakaway and channel drainage.
Ryhall has a conservation area covering the historic village and no Article 4 direction, so normal permitted development rules apply outside listed buildings.
