>>Yes a simple soakaway is probably the best bet.

This year, neighbours have had the front garden " done ".
The brick paved area has a run off to a soakaway under the new lawn.
In dry periods a large rectangle of grass in the middle of the lawn turns yellow.
I assume either the soakaway is too near the surface or poor soil or both.

My patio was laid on concrete and the run off is to the lawn
I had my front drive replaced . It is also on concrete, but reinforced, plus a soakaway in its middle.

Our 1930 house has always had the rear rainwater sent to the sewer.
Saving the cost of running an underground pipe around to the front of the house.
