Driveways for every kind of Empingham house
Empingham sits at the eastern end of Rutland Water, below the dam, with a stone-built centre around the church and the main street, and later houses on its edges. Plots are often generous, and garden projects here frequently have the water or open country as a backdrop.
Ground, drainage and conservation in Empingham
Empingham is on the limestone side of Rutland, and much of the village drains reasonably well, but the North Brook runs through it on its way to the Gwash, and ground near the brook stays wet.
Empingham has a conservation area and no Article 4 direction. Front-garden work outside listed buildings follows normal permitted development, with natural materials the safe choice in the conservation area.
The North Brook, a tributary of the Gwash, runs through Empingham, and Rutland's flood strategy traces it through Cottesmore, Empingham and Ryhall.
