HD6 PROJECT PREPARATION BRIEF
Planning a Brighouse or Rastrick project through Calderdale

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 Brighouse, Rastrick, Clifton or Bailiff Bridge, begin with Calderdale’s planning information even though the postcode begins HD. For a conversion or extension, establish the building’s existing use, levels and water records before choosing the scope. Similar-looking properties may have different histories.

DECISIONS TO RESOLVE

1. Check the history for the proposed part
Find the relevant decisions and drawings and identify whether they cover the whole building or a particular addition. Compare the record with what exists before relying on it in a new proposal.
[ ] Gather: Previous decisions and a marked-up existing plan.
Notes: ________________________________________

2. Understand ground-floor water questions
Review area flood information where relevant and record drainage and floor levels at the site. Separate a general environmental check from the assessment of an individual lower-level room.
[ ] Gather: Level survey, drainage records and any previous water-entry reports.
