We specialise in chartered surveying on dense urban sites and are 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.
Day-to-day issues, scaffolding placement, deliveries through estate access roads, parking restrictions, and access through communal areas, get handled as they arise. Party wall services are usually involved given the shared structures across the borough's estates and Becontree housing. Where homeowner-led upward extensions come forward on terraced or semi-detached homes, the focus shifts to the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and protection of the existing structure.
Airspace work in Barking and Dagenham 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.
Strong liaison and a thorough Schedule of Condition deal with most of this before it starts. Residents get one named contact, the developer gets a structured process for concerns raised during the build, and the Schedule provides documented evidence if a damage claim arises later. Planning sits with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, which has strategic policy support for housing delivery on certain sites. Rights of light assessments often run in parallel where new height affects surrounding properties.
