Water on site? It's rarely just a ‘nice feature’ 💧 it’s a constraint hiding in plain sight. Ben Tibbetts recently shared some key insights into the early-stage constraints that developers often overlook. One of the most deceptively simple — yet potentially costly — issues is the presence of a brook, river or stream running through or alongside a site. It might look like a peaceful watercourse, but from a delivery and planning perspective, it raises a whole series of questions around easements, drainage, build-over agreements, and long-term risk. In this clip, Ben explains why identifying these natural constraints early can make the difference between a smooth planning process and months of unexpected hold-ups. At BTS, we flag these risks before they become problems — because no developer wants surprises when the spades are ready. 🎥 Watch the clip for Ben’s take. #LandConstraints #PropertyDevelopment #SiteDueDiligence #BTSConsultancy #InfrastructureRisk
