41 Approaches to crossings over rivers and drainage lines
41 Approaches to crossings over rivers and drainage lines
(1) Any approaches to a crossing over a river or drainage line must be drained, using a drainage structure, within 5 to 30 metres of the crossing (or if this is impracticable, such other further distance that is as near as practicable to the crossing).
(2) Any approaches to a crossing over a drainage depression on soil classed R4 must be drained, with minimal exposure of subsoils, so that any concentrated water flow is managed to prevent scouring or channelisation within the depression.
