The practice is RICS regulated and our surveyors carry over 30 years of combined experience on residential extension and rooftop work. Airspace schemes typically need party wall services where the new structure ties into a shared wall with adjoining homes.
Where a developer is adding flats above an existing residential block, the role widens to full occupant liaison. We make initial contact with each leaseholder, hold attended meetings, prepare Schedules of Condition for the flats directly below the new units, and act as the named point of contact through construction. Practical issues like scaffolding, deliveries, parking, and access get resolved as they arise, with daylight and sunlight reports typically forming part of the planning submission.
Airspace work in Braintree 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 completion.
Leaseholders retain their statutory rights to quiet enjoyment and protection from damage, and the occupant liaison surveyor gives them one named person to raise concerns with throughout the build. Planning sits with Braintree District Council, which reviews airspace proposals on amenity, design, character, and neighbour impact grounds. A free initial assessment covers the likely route on a given site and the supporting surveying workstreams that run alongside it.
