The Otley brief
For a home around Otley or Pool-in-Wharfedale, establish the property’s own levels and water routes before deciding the finished floor height of an extension. Elsewhere in the wider LS21 area, access and the planning authority may differ. The outward postcode is a starting point, not a site assessment.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
LS21 / 01
Check area information and property evidence
Bring to the conversationSite levels, drain locations and relevant property reports.
Why this matters
Review the Environment Agency checker, then gather any previous water-entry records and drainage surveys for the actual plot. The area map cannot tell you whether a particular room or property will flood.
LS21 / 02
Identify the correct decision-maker
Bring to the conversationA location plan and the full postal address.
Why this matters
Confirm the council from the full address before looking up planning history or conservation information. Include the exact site boundary so advice is about the proposed works, not a nearby property.
