The Baildon brief
For a Baildon property on sloping ground, establish where materials can be unloaded and how they reach the proposed work. The straight-line distance from the road can be misleading when the route contains steps or retaining walls. Record the route before agreeing the scale of excavation or structural deliveries.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
BD17 / 01
Measure the route as a series of stages
Bring to the conversationAn access sketch with dimensions and photographs at each change in level.
Why this matters
Include gradients, gate widths, stair flights and turning points. Ask which materials can use the route in their intended size and which operations need a different handling plan.
BD17 / 02
Include boundaries that retain ground
Bring to the conversationA boundary and retaining-wall record with visible condition photographs.
Why this matters
Record the position and height of walls near the proposed excavation. Ask what survey and design input is needed before relying on them or altering the ground beside them.
The address matters

The local detail.
