Use cases
Who are these answers for?
Our CDC options summary and reports are great for the early stages of your project, when you are still deciding what to do, and before your detailed design or documentation work.
Architects and builders

- With this site-specific report detailing what you're allowed to build with CDC, you can confidently recommend the best approach to your client.
Agents and investors
- You're looking to buy or sell, you deal with multiple properties, and you need to know the development potential on each one.

Property owners
