The Horsforth brief
For a Horsforth extension, agree which rooms must remain usable during the build and where construction access can run. A design that works well when finished may require a temporary kitchen, a different entrance or a period away from the house while the old and new spaces are connected.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
LS18 / 01
Choose the connection stage
Bring to the conversationA proposed opening plan and the household’s occupancy needs.
Why this matters
Ask when the existing external wall would be opened and what needs to be complete beforehand. This makes the period of greatest disruption visible when comparing programmes.
LS18 / 02
Keep boundaries in the survey
Bring to the conversationA boundary survey and photographs of adjoining structures.
Why this matters
Record neighbouring walls, garages and windows alongside the proposed footprint. Use the party wall guidance to identify whether specialist advice is needed; do not assume every extension has the same notice requirements.
The address matters
