The Garforth brief
A project in Garforth or Kippax and one in Sherburn-in-Elmet or South Milford share an LS25 prefix but can involve different councils and site histories. Begin with the full address and existing records. For groundworks, the history of the individual plot matters more than a broad description of the district.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
LS25 / 01
Confirm council and planning history together
Bring to the conversationA location plan, full address and previous decision notices.
Why this matters
Use the address finder before searching Leeds or North Yorkshire records. Keep the location plan with any advice so the boundary and proposal are clear when information passes between designer and builder.
LS25 / 02
Resolve unknown ground conditions before fixing a foundation price
Bring to the conversationExisting ground reports, searches and details of previous site use.
Why this matters
If records or the site history indicate former mining or industrial use, use the relevant official tools and seek appropriate investigation. A postcode is not evidence that specialist foundations are or are not required.
