We specialise in chartered surveying on dense urban sites where rooftop and upward extension schemes are most common, and the practice is RICS regulated with over 30 years of combined experience. Daylight and sunlight reports typically accompany the planning submission given the impact of new height on neighbouring properties.
On rooftop additions to post-war estates and mansion blocks around Wealdstone and central Harrow, 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 Harrow 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 the London Borough of Harrow, which reviews airspace proposals on design, height, neighbour amenity, parking, and area character. The Harrow on the Hill conservation area and various smaller conservation zones across the borough add heritage considerations to some sites. A free initial assessment covers feasibility and the most likely planning route on a given site.
