A retention pond is an option but not sure I will have the funds to have this after the build. A number of neighboring properties have ponds, so Im assuming this may be the best course of action. Are there any other viable options to manage? Once the house is up, I would expect more run off from the roof ect so want to be able to manage this as cost effectively as possible, at least for a few years until I can save up to put in a pond.
