It sounds like you have our problem with steep slopes.
Can I offer some advice?
1. Make sure that any run-off from driveway/road/lane etc is diverted away from the slope if possible into a proper drain but if not an area of trees/plants where the ground will absorb it.Build small walls and dig drainage ditches.You may need to get dia's for these.
2.Where does the cesspit discharge? Make sure it doesn't go towards the slope as this will add to the problem.
3.On no account cut down any trees or shrubs (we had an offer from our neighbour to clear all our trees !) and if you can get to the slope plant black locust trees.If possible plant trees and shrubs on the top edge of the slope( not right on the edge about 2meters in)
4.Move any rubbish debris old sheds etc away from the edge of any slope.Do not park cars within at least 10 metres from the edge of slope.If there's evidence of flytipping from the road try to fench off the area to prevent this.
Good luck pm me if you want more info!
