What to send
Start with the address, type of property, current use and the change you are considering. Explain whether the proposal is an extension, HMO, commercial conversion, new home or a response to a decision. Add the planning history if you know it.
Useful supporting information includes floor plans, clear photographs of the affected elevations and surroundings, previous decision notices and any council correspondence. Do not commission extensive reports solely to fill an enquiry form; the required scope should be established first.
What the initial review should identify
The first questions concern the planning authority, the likely consent route and any obvious gaps in evidence. For Leeds rental property, the review should keep Article 4 planning controls separate from housing licensing. For older buildings, check heritage status before assuming ordinary householder rules apply.
If the brief is still changing, state your priorities: extra family space, a viable letting layout, a new use for vacant premises or an investment decision before purchase. That allows the team to propose a useful next stage instead of drawing an option that has not been tested.
What is not a planning decision
An initial conversation, this website and a preliminary checklist do not grant permission or certify that works are lawful. Any detailed written advice, drawings, survey, report or council submission must be included in an agreed appointment.

Your questions, answered
Will this enquiry apply to the council?
No. Contacting Plandome does not submit an application to Leeds City Council.
Can you assess a property before purchase?
Ask for a feasibility scope before committing. Supply available sales information and explain the intended development; missing access or surveys may limit the initial advice.
Make this specific to your property. General guidance cannot establish a site’s lawful use, boundaries or the outcome of an application. Bring your address, plans and any council correspondence to the next conversation.
