BD8 PROJECT PREPARATION BRIEF
Planning external changes around Manningham

Prepared by ATR Developments Limited. You can use this with your designer or builder.
These are preparation prompts, not a property survey or a permissions decision.

Project address: ______________________________
Proposed work: ________________________________
Intended use / occupation: ____________________

For a roof, window or exterior project in Manningham, separate maintenance from a proposed alteration in appearance or form. Bradford’s Article 4 and conservation information is relevant to checking certain addresses here. A material described as a close match is not, by itself, a decision on permission.

DECISIONS TO RESOLVE

1. List the changes by elevation
Show which windows, roof features and wall finishes would change, with dimensions and photographs. Check the applicable council records before selecting products or assuming an alteration is routine repair.
[ ] Gather: An elevation-by-elevation schedule of repair and replacement work.
Notes: ________________________________________

2. Coordinate fabric and internal work
If the exterior project accompanies insulation or a room refurbishment, consider reveals, ventilation and moisture behaviour together. Avoid treating the external replacement and the internal lining as unrelated specifications.
[ ] Gather: Existing wall and window details, plus the intended internal build-up.
Notes: ________________________________________
