- local authorities
- planning portal 
- contaminated land
- mining activity
- geology, flood risk, mining activity
- access to site
- risk level for previous, current and proposed use of site

- Surveying of surrounding area
- Determining what foundation types could be used. 
- Taking samples to determine the lands suitability for development. (Samples are sent off to a laboratory to be analysed.)
- Scanning for any obstructions e.g. existing foundations

2. Site samples sent to lab for analysis, radar survey for any existing services, UKSO,
3. Drainage, ground stability, Settlement, footings, foundation types and minimum width/depth, planning, bearing capacity]]> 2016-12-08 10:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rics1_66981/3cen2s15b6fw/wish/142498777 Group G - Desktop Study bailey_dodd1 https://padlet.com/rics1_66981/3cen2s15b6fw/wish/142498814
- Researching site drawings 
- to identify preliminary operating areas
- conversations with  local authorities 
- historical implications on the land 
- existing pipe routes 
- Checking land for underground cavities  
- general web search 
- land boundaries

- Look at existing service maps to identify potential; Water ways, old uses of the site and the sites surroundings
- Feasibility
- Local Authorities
- Identify potential risks]]> 2016-12-08 10:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rics1_66981/3cen2s15b6fw/wish/142498878 Group F - SOIL/ GROUND INSPECTION https://padlet.com/rics1_66981/3cen2s15b6fw/wish/142498894 1) The type of soil/ quality of ground 

2) on site tests are carried out with samples being taken and then sent to the lab for further tests 

3) the soil could be hazardous and could easily cause problems in the future, if the soil type is not identified.]]> 2016-12-08 10:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rics1_66981/3cen2s15b6fw/wish/142498894 Group B - walk over: https://padlet.com/rics1_66981/3cen2s15b6fw/wish/142498912

Addition information already obtained in Desktop study. 
Building on information already known.
Identifying potential hazards (contaminated land).
Getting a better feel for the site - more information gained (more photos, Drawings ect). 
Prepare for the soil and ground investigations.
Utilise info from desktop study to prepare for walkover, i.e. risk assessment highlighting potential health hazards.
