Specialist chartered surveying on dense urban sites is where most of our airspace work sits, and the practice is RICS regulated with over 30 years of combined experience. Airspace development advice covers feasibility and the planning route before any application is prepared.
Day-to-day issues, scaffolding placement on narrow streets, deliveries, parking restrictions, access, get handled as they arise. On smaller homeowner-led upward extensions across the borough's terraced areas, the focus shifts to the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, neighbour relations, and protection of the existing structure. Party wall services are nearly always involved given Lambeth's dense building pattern.
Airspace work in Lambeth 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 Lambeth, which reviews airspace proposals on design, height, neighbour amenity, parking, and area character. Conservation areas across Clapham, Streatham, Brixton, and Herne Hill bring additional heritage considerations into play. Rights of light assessments sit outside the planning process but often run in parallel where new height affects surrounding properties.
