We have an established Hampshire presence with experience on dense south coast urban residential schemes. The practice is RICS regulated, and daylight and sunlight reports almost always accompany the planning submission given the city's tight plot density and consequent impact on neighbouring windows.
On rooftop additions to mid-rise residential blocks across North End or Buckland, the occupant liaison role becomes the central piece of work. We make initial contact with each leaseholder, attend meetings to discuss concerns, prepare Schedules of Condition for the flats directly below the new units, and act as the named point of contact through the build. 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 Portsmouth 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 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 construction. Planning sits with Portsmouth City Council, which reviews airspace proposals on amenity, design, character, and the impact on neighbouring residential windows given the city's tight plot density. Airspace development advice covers feasibility and the most likely planning route before submission.
