Where it has been agreed that you will provide the groundworks, it will be your responsibility to ensure that all groundworks have been completed (and if necessary a base installed at the delivery site) to a satisfactory quality so the delivery site is fit and adequate for the installation of the Goods by the agreed delivery date.

We recommend you seek clarification from your local planning authority.
