"The Royal Horticultural Society says British front gardens are disappearing. Why are people paving over their lawns?
"When people imagine a classic British front garden, they may first think of a small slice of well-tended grass. Perhaps with a box hedge.
"But over the past 10 years the number of front gardens with gravel or paving instead of grass has tripled, now making up a quarter of all houses, a survey for the RHS shows.
"There's an environmental cost. Paving increases the risk of flash flooding - instead of grass and soil soaking up moisture, it runs straight off paving and overwhelms drainage systems."
