The Kirkburton brief
For a project around Denby Dale, Kirkburton or Shepley, establish whether the work is an extension to a dwelling, an outbuilding alteration or a change of use. These can look similar on an early sketch but require different records and investigations. Define the site and existing use first.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
