LS24 PROJECT PREPARATION BRIEF
Extending a Tadcaster or surrounding village 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: ____________________

An LS24 address around Tadcaster or Church Fenton uses North Yorkshire planning resources rather than Leeds simply because the postcode begins LS. For an extension, bring together the planning history, ground levels and intended rainwater route before fixing the footprint and internal floor height.

DECISIONS TO RESOLVE

1. Read the decisions for your property
Find previous permissions and their conditions, including any earlier additions. A neighbouring extension may have a different history and is useful context rather than an approval for your own scheme.
[ ] Gather: Previous decisions and a drawing showing what was actually built.
Notes: ________________________________________

2. Show where new roof water will go
Record existing drains and the levels between the house and garden. Review area flood information where relevant, then ask the designer to identify any drainage investigation needed for the proposed addition.
[ ] Gather: Drainage information and photographs after heavy rain if available.
Notes: ________________________________________

ADDRESS CHECKS
[ ] Confirm the authority using the full address: https://www.gov.uk/find-local-council
[ ] Establish applicable permissions with the relevant authority and advisers.
