HD3 PROJECT PREPARATION BRIEF
Adding space to a Lindley or Longwood property

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 Lindley or Longwood extension, record the existing roof, floor levels and access before choosing a standard addition. For an address around Outlane or the wider HD3 district, confirm the council independently. The postcode can cross administrative boundaries and does not establish the rules for a specific building.

DECISIONS TO RESOLVE

1. Resolve the roof junction
Show where the new roof meets upstairs windows, eaves and any earlier addition. Ask how gutters and maintenance access work so the proposed connection is more than a line on the floor plan.
[ ] Gather: Rear and side elevations with eaves and sill heights.
Notes: ________________________________________

2. Check the correct local records
Use the full address to select Kirklees or Calderdale information, then check planning history and any relevant designation. Keep the location plan with the advice to avoid confusion with similarly named places.
[ ] Gather: Address, location plan and previous decision notices.
Notes: ________________________________________
