Paving for Rain

The first document that you can download is a brochure summarising the Interpave guidance.

Global warming is changing the way we think about our environment and one serious issue is how we dispose of the rainwater falling on our properties. Simply allowing it to run straight off roofs and sealed-up paving into drains increases the chance of sewers flooding local homes during heavy storms which are becoming more frequent.

To help home-owners, garden designers and contractors take a more responsible approach to rainwater management around domestic properties and alleviate concerns about sealing up front gardens for car parking, Interpave has developed guidance.
