we have a client who has spent £400 on cupressus and chamaecyparis  cultivars 
unfortunately her garden is very boggy and the trees are wholely  
inappropriate. Obviously my initial thoughts were take the trees back and 
select  a 
better species for the site but she is insistent this trees are planted.
 
so we proposed to put in drainage in the form of a trench filled with a  
perforated pipe then pea gravel then top soil, my concern is where the water 
is  
going to go
 
is there any legalities in letting water flow onto neighbours property, is  
it feasible to connect to mains water and is planning permission required for 
 
such an operation.
 
or should i just sit at home and drink stella and eat mince pies
 
any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
