We specialise in chartered surveying on dense urban sites where rooftop and upward extension schemes are most common. The practice is RICS regulated with over 30 years of combined residential extension and rooftop experience. Airspace development advice covers feasibility and the planning route before any application is prepared.
On rooftop additions to post-war estates around Sutton town centre, Hackbridge, and Rosehill, the existing occupants liaison role becomes central. We make initial contact with each leaseholder below the proposed units, prepare Schedules of Condition for the flats directly below, and act as the named point of contact through construction. Rights of light assessments are common where new height affects neighbouring residential windows.
Airspace work in Sutton typically sits alongside daylight and sunlight, rights of light, and party wall workstreams on the same scheme. The same surveyor stays on the project from instruction to handover.
Occupant liaison and a named point of contact removes most of the second. Planning sits with the London Borough of Sutton, which reviews airspace proposals on design, height, neighbour amenity, parking, and area character. A free initial assessment covers feasibility and the most likely planning route on a given site, including whether permitted development with prior approval applies.
