The practice has an established Hampshire presence and is RICS regulated, with surveyors carrying over 30 years of combined residential extension and rooftop experience. Daylight and sunlight reports typically accompany the planning submission for schemes that add height in dense parts of the town and along the seafront.
On rooftop additions to seafront mansion blocks and the mid-rise residential blocks across Charminster and Winton, the existing occupants liaison role becomes the central piece. We make initial contact with each leaseholder, attend meetings to discuss concerns, prepare Schedules of Condition for the flats directly below the new units, and act as the named point of contact through construction. Day-to-day matters, scaffolding, deliveries, parking, access, get handled as they arise, with rights of light assessments covering the impact on surrounding buildings.
Airspace schemes in Bournemouth typically sit alongside daylight and sunlight, rights of light, and party wall workstreams on the same site. The same surveyor stays on the project from instruction to handover.
Outcomes from a well-run scheme include programme certainty, fewer damage claims, and planning sign-off without late objections from neighbours. Planning routes in Bournemouth run through Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council, with seafront conservation areas and listed buildings adding constraints in certain locations. Specialist airspace development advice sets out the most likely path early in the project.
