The Dewsbury brief
Use Kirklees planning resources for a Dewsbury or Thornhill project rather than assuming the WF prefix means Wakefield Council. For a conversion or structural alteration, record existing floor levels, retained walls and the intended use. These define the investigation more usefully than a broad building-type label.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
WF12 / 01
Establish the retained structure
Bring to the conversationMeasured plans, earlier drawings and the proposed structural changes.
Why this matters
Give the designer an all-floor survey and identify proposed openings or changes in loading. Include any known earlier alterations so investigations can target the parts the new proposal relies on.
WF12 / 02
Check the exterior in context
Bring to the conversationExisting and proposed elevations plus any designation information.
Why this matters
For an older property, use the Kirklees conservation information and listing search for the specific address. Draw new windows, flues and roof changes on elevations so they are considered with the internal scheme.
The address matters
