The Castleford brief
For building work around Castleford or Glasshoughton, obtain the site’s earlier surveys and permissions before commissioning a new scope. A recently developed plot may already have important ground or drainage information; an older site may need further investigation. Neither should be treated as a blank sheet based on appearance alone.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
WF10 / 01
Recover the previous project information
Bring to the conversationAvailable site reports and the drawings for existing development.
Why this matters
Ask for ground reports, drainage drawings and records of earlier works. Identify which parts relate to the proposed footprint and which assumptions need updating for the new proposal.
WF10 / 02
Distinguish water and ground questions
Bring to the conversationA site boundary plan, levels and relevant search results.
Why this matters
Check area flood information and mining guidance where applicable. Keep those findings separate so the designer can identify what needs assessment rather than grouping all below-ground uncertainty into one allowance.
The address matters
