The Horbury brief
For an extension around Horbury, Crofton, Flockton or West Bretton, check the full address and existing site records rather than treating WF4 as one uniform setting. A garden plot, older village building and former working yard can need different investigations before the scope is reliable.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
WF4 / 01
Confirm the council and the retained fabric
Bring to the conversationCouncil confirmation, previous decisions and existing elevation photographs.
Why this matters
Check which authority deals with the address, then gather the relevant planning and heritage records. Record external features that the proposed extension will join or alter before deciding on materials.
WF4 / 02
Investigate ground history proportionately
Bring to the conversationGround or mining records and a clearly defined building footprint.
Why this matters
If the available records indicate earlier mining or industrial use, establish what further assessment is needed for the proposal. Do not add or dismiss specialist foundation work solely because of the postcode.
The address matters
