The Ilkley brief
For a project around Ilkley, Ben Rhydding, Menston or Addingham, confirm the exact address before choosing council resources. LS29 spans more than one authority. For an extension or renovation, the combination of external character, levels and access needs to be understood at the individual plot.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
LS29 / 01
Locate the right heritage information
Bring to the conversationThe full address, boundary plan and any designation records.
Why this matters
Use the council finder and then the relevant conservation or listing search. Record which designation, if any, applies to the building; a conservation boundary and an individual listing are different checks.
LS29 / 02
Check low-level accommodation carefully
Bring to the conversationA building section, drainage records and previous damp or water reports.
Why this matters
If the proposal includes a basement or a room below surrounding ground, gather existing water and drainage information. Review area flood data, then establish what specialist assessment the actual room needs.
The address matters
