Is an initial concept a permit-ready design?
No. A planning concept or 3D view is different from the drawings, calculations, and professional approvals a specific application may require.

Property feasibility & planning: common questions
Can feasibility work guarantee project approval?
No. It helps identify constraints and next steps, but does not replace review by the relevant authority or a site-specific design professional.
What should a feasibility review produce?
Agree on the questions to investigate and the expected deliverables before work begins. These might include a record review, a list of constraints, and recommended professional or jurisdiction follow-up—not a guarantee of approval.
