WF3 PROJECT PREPARATION BRIEF
Agreeing the authority and construction scope around Tingley

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 project around Tingley, Lofthouse, Stanley or the Ardsleys, confirm the council from the full address. The WF3 district reaches across Leeds and Wakefield. Once the location is settled, establish whether the proposal relies on an old garage, an earlier addition or unexplored ground.

DECISIONS TO RESOLVE

1. Keep the planning record attached to the site
Collect decisions using the exact address and site boundary. A similar house nearby may sit under another authority or carry different conditions, so use it as a design reference rather than a permissions test.
[ ] Gather: Location plan and the property’s previous decision notices.
Notes: ________________________________________

2. Identify assumptions below ground
List any existing reports and the history known about the plot. Where mining information is relevant, use the official assessment guidance and seek advice about the proposed footprint before fixing a foundation scope.
[ ] Gather: Existing ground reports, searches and a plan of proposed excavation.
Notes: ________________________________________
