cheers eddie,
the paving will be replacing concrete right next to the house, at the same level, so shouldn't be any change in the risk of rising damp? (altho the exact location of dpc is a bit of a mystery to me on this house! There are 3 clear courses of bricks below air brick level -should be ok?)
Drainage direction is a slight concern, its very flat, so they'll need to take a bit of care to ensure its ok. Will be getting drainage channels (whose name I forget!) put in 'tween my land and the pavement, altho not connected to a drain, so it'll look sweet to the council but should they fill quicker than they can drain, will overflow to the road (where there is a surface water drain midway across the front of my land).
sound ok?
