Boundary selected
The customer defines the land being assessed. That geometry stays attached to the instruction.
Worked example
Follow a site from boundary to issued report.
This is an illustrative composite example designed to show the Site Reports Direct process. It uses genuine UK base mapping, but the example findings are not an assessment of the mapped property.

From site to report
See what happens at each stage.
The important distinction is between finding data and interpreting what it means for the site and proposed use.
Historical maps reviewed
Dated mapping is compared to identify material changes and former uses around the site.
Environmental context reviewed
Relevant environmental evidence is considered spatially in relation to the selected boundary.
Illustrative findings
- Former developed land indicated historically
- Water environment considered nearby
- Ground conditions require contextual review
- No single dataset determines the conclusion
Material findings identified
The report separates what is potentially significant from what has simply been recorded.
Consultant viewFurther targeted investigation may be proportionateExample wording onlyConsultant recommendation
The reviewer explains why a finding matters and what should happen next.
Report issued
A controlled PDF connects the site, evidence, conclusions, limitations and recommendations.
What changes between free and professional
The free screening finds signals. The report resolves the decision context.
Useful first look
Environmental indicators
Historical context
Water sensitivity
Mining contextGood for understanding whether anything obvious deserves attention and for choosing a next step.
VS
Decision-ready interpretation
- Deeper historical review and chronology
- Environmental setting assessed together
- Potential source–pathway–receptor linkages considered where relevant
- Limitations stated explicitly
- Proportionate recommendations
- Professional review and controlled issue
Illustrative findings
How the report turns observations into useful statements.
Former land use
Historical mapping can indicate activities or development that warrant closer consideration.
EvidenceNearby receptors
The significance of a record depends on its location, nature and plausible relationship to the site.
ContextWater environment
Surface water, groundwater and flood context may influence sensitivity and potential pathways.
SettingMining legacy
Where relevant, coal-mining legacy is assessed through the dedicated CMRA scope rather than assumed from a generic screen.
Specialist scope
Recommended next step
The consultant recommendation reflects the combined evidence and project context, not one isolated data point.
JudgementWhat the finished report contains
Structured so the reasoning is easy to follow.
The exact sections vary by product, but a professional report is designed to connect evidence, interpretation and recommendations in a controlled document.
