How the result is worked out

Each answer adds points for the things that usually let encroachment start unnoticed: long gaps between visits, no fence or board, a layout that is filling up around an empty site, construction or road work next door, and no recent photos to compare against. The intervals follow the routine in our guide, protecting a vacant plot in Bangalore when you live abroad: a walk-around every three to six months, and straight away when building starts next door.
