As far as I'm aware there's no law to stop you covering up your drain. The reasons people generally don't is if there is a blockage, remember if you neighbour blocks their drain this will be passed through the 'run' (means the line of drains running to the sewage) to your drains.

At this point when the Council who are generally responsible for helping resolve not fix but resolve drainage problems will be unable to get to your drain. When there's a blockage a drain clearing company normally send a camera down the run to check where the blockage is and if this stops at your property, along with the other residents on the run you will be responsible for clearing the block, if your drain covered it can make it really difficult.
