HOW THIS WORKS

A sequence, not a readiness score.

The board groups six project questions into three decision stages. Unresolved land, use and floodplain or site-water questions come first; access and utilities follow; the interior and construction interfaces come next. A confirmed item moves to your review list. An unknown answer stays unknown—it is never counted as approval.

Your selected use adds a specific coordination question. A workshop raises enclosure and equipment requirements; farm storage raises seasonal equipment retrieval; a horse barn raises animal-care and handling routes; residential or business use raises occupancy and completion responsibilities. These are prompts for the relevant professional, not automated judgments about suitability.

What the result means

• Resolve first: questions that could change the property/use brief.
• Coordinate next: site and trade interfaces to put into the scope.
• Keep on the brief: items you marked confirmed, which still need current documentation and professional review.

“Confirmed” means you have an answer from the relevant source. The website has not checked that answer. No option produces a permit exemption, structural recommendation, cost estimate or permission to excavate. The sequence is an editorial method based on the linked authority guidance and project responsibilities.
