The Stanley brief
For a project around Tingley, Lofthouse, Stanley or the Ardsleys, confirm the council from the full address. The WF3 district reaches across Leeds and Wakefield. Once the location is settled, establish whether the proposal relies on an old garage, an earlier addition or unexplored ground.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
WF3 / 01
Keep the planning record attached to the site
Bring to the conversationLocation plan and the property’s previous decision notices.
Why this matters
Collect decisions using the exact address and site boundary. A similar house nearby may sit under another authority or carry different conditions, so use it as a design reference rather than a permissions test.
WF3 / 02
Identify assumptions below ground
Bring to the conversationExisting ground reports, searches and a plan of proposed excavation.
Why this matters
List any existing reports and the history known about the plot. Where mining information is relevant, use the official assessment guidance and seek advice about the proposed footprint before fixing a foundation scope.
