The practice has an established Hampshire presence and is RICS regulated, with surveyors carrying over 30 years of combined residential extension and rooftop experience. Schemes typically need airspace development advice on feasibility, structural capacity, and the planning route before an application is prepared.
On the larger rooftop schemes across Basingstoke's post-war residential blocks, the existing occupants liaison role becomes the central piece. We make initial contact with each leaseholder below the proposed units, attend meetings to discuss concerns, prepare Schedules of Condition for the flats directly below, and act as the named point of contact through construction. Day-to-day issues, scaffolding, deliveries, parking, access, get handled as they arise, with party wall services running on the building itself.
Airspace work in Basingstoke 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.
Planning sits with Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, which reviews airspace proposals on design, height, neighbour amenity, parking, and area character. Some upward extensions fall within permitted development with prior approval, while larger rooftop schemes need a full application. Daylight and sunlight reports usually form part of the submission for schemes that add meaningful height. A free initial assessment covers the likely route for a specific site.
