HG3 PROJECT PREPARATION BRIEF
Defining a rural project beyond Harrogate town

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: ____________________

HG3 covers a wide range of locations, including Killinghall, Hampsthwaite and the Pateley Bridge area. Give the exact site and intended scope when discussing a project. A rural conversion or outbuilding alteration needs a clear record of existing use, access and services before a room layout is meaningful.

DECISIONS TO RESOLVE

1. Identify the site and buildings precisely
Mark which structures and land form part of the proposal and gather existing decisions. Ask the authority to confirm the planning route for the actual location rather than assuming a postcode defines the jurisdiction or designations.
[ ] Gather: A location plan, building-use schedule and earlier decisions.
Notes: ________________________________________

2. Price the complete approach and connections
Record lane restrictions, turning space and distances to existing supplies. Discuss service connections and site access as part of the works, not as unpriced items beyond the building footprint.
[ ] Gather: An approach survey and the location of available utility connections.
Notes: ________________________________________
