Desktop evidence in context
Desktop ground intelligence helps identify relevant mapped information and gaps before site-specific work. It does not establish all conditions beneath a development site. Technical guides are being prepared for competent review.
Guides in preparation
Initial topics include geological desktop reports, desktop studies versus intrusive investigation, nearby boreholes, mapped hazards and when further investigation is needed. These are draft topics, not reviewed professional guidance.
Read the methodology
Our public methodology explains how boundaries, authorised evidence, spatial analysis and saved versions fit together. It also states the current pilot limitations and prerequisites for production reporting.
