The Illingworth brief
For a property around Luddenden, Midgley or Warley, record levels and access before committing to an extension arrangement. Elsewhere in HX2, a more level estate plot may require a different approach. The design should respond to the surveyed site rather than a general description of hillside construction.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
HX2 / 01
Check the retained ground
Bring to the conversationA level survey and retaining-wall photographs.
Why this matters
Show slopes and walls beside the proposed excavation and record their condition. Ask what investigation and design work is needed before changing levels or relying on an existing retaining structure.
HX2 / 02
Decide how the site is supplied
Bring to the conversationA phased access and storage sketch with route dimensions.
Why this matters
Trace the delivery route and identify safe unloading and storage positions. Consider how those arrangements change as the new structure occupies the plot.
The address matters
