The other option I have is the rainwater downpipes ar in the same
location. Can I "T" into this and connect my land drain? Though about a
sediment trap before the T.


How does a "sediment trap" work?


it is basically a 'bin' that is sunk into the ground and then the inlet and
outlel pipes enter into it at the top at opposite ends. as the water flows
through it the heavier sediment drops to the bottom and does not enter the
the other part of the drain. After a few years you would need to empty the
trap.
