We specialise in chartered surveying on dense urban sites, and the practice is RICS regulated with over 30 years of combined residential extension and rooftop experience. Schemes typically need daylight and sunlight reports given the tight plot density and impact on neighbouring windows in this borough.
Where airspace work involves a homeowner adding a storey to a smaller property in the borough, the focus shifts to the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, neighbour relations, and protection of the existing structure. Party wall services are nearly always triggered given Islington's dense building pattern.
Airspace work in Islington 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 Islington, which reviews airspace proposals on design, height, neighbour amenity, parking, and area character. Conservation areas across Canonbury, Barnsbury, Highbury, and the central core add a heritage layer to many sites. Specialist airspace development advice covers feasibility and the most likely planning route on a given site.
