Know what is confirmed, indicated and still unknown.
A structured desktop and site-information review helps direct specialist expenditure and prevents assumptions from quietly becoming “facts”.
Title & cadastral references
Current deeds and official survey information should be obtained and interpreted by the appropriate professionals.
Land-use context
Zoning, scheme, approvals and policy context require confirmation with the responsible planning authority or adviser.
Physical & legal access
A visible road does not by itself confirm a lawful or adequate development access.
Infrastructure context
Available records and proximity can guide questions, but capacity and connection require provider confirmation.
Terrain, water & constraints
Screening layers identify issues for specialist investigation; they are not substitute approvals or studies.
Next-investigation register
Each uncertainty is assigned a likely source, responsible discipline and recommended timing.
