The Knottingley brief
For a Knottingley, Ferrybridge or nearby WF11 project, record the exact site, existing ground information and drainage arrangement at the outset. The district includes addresses under different councils. A new building footprint should be assessed on its own evidence rather than the industrial history or appearance of the wider area.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.

Bring to the conversationLocation plan and reports with their site boundaries.
Why this matters
Establish the local authority and gather earlier decisions, ground reports and mining information if relevant. Check that report boundaries include the proposed work before relying on their conclusions.

Choose levels with drainage in mind
Bring to the conversationLevel survey and a drainage proposal with unresolved points marked.
Why this matters
