Patio drain advice sought

jwh1977

Hi there, I'm installing my first patio in our garden and hope to seek some advice. Due to a high soil level and the placement of a manhole cover, we are looking to drain the patio into ACO strip drains into an existing clay pipe from an old drain (which we will just remove as its too high)
I am also going to re-route the guttering into the same pipe as its all connected way too high into the inspection chambour. (we are lowering it by a couple of courses)
My question is ... can I place a bottle gully in the corner of the house and connect the two ACO strip drains into it along with the house guttering so it can all be connected into the existing pipe. I've dug up a section and it looks deep enough where its close to the possibly gully location.
I've scoured the interwebs for advice on connecting strip drains to gullys and found none leading me to think I'm misunderstanding something. The old drain had no gully but it is 5m from the chambour whereas the strip drain connection would only be 1m from the chambour leading me to think a gully might be needed in to prevent any smells.
Really appreciate any advice, it's a beast of a project for a DIY novice but hell I'm not putting decking down!!! Stay safe all!

Seems reasonable to connect the strip drains direct to chamber, like this?
