Flooding

Gordon from Halswell

Given the Auckland situation, does anyone know if we have any restrictions on the area of a property that can be covered, that is building, roads, driveway, paths Swimming pools, tennis courts etc
The more surface area covered, the less area there is for rain water to drain away naturally, as opposed to having to use the storm water system which probably will not be able to cope much longer, definately if we get some of the Auckland rain.
High density housing would fall into this category as some of those have no exposed soil.
People can also seal or concrete the whole of the property, so all their ground rain water will run off into next door maybe.
