We specialise in chartered surveying on dense urban sites where rooftop and upward extension schemes are most common. The practice is RICS regulated with over 30 years of combined residential extension and rooftop experience. A free initial assessment covers feasibility and the most likely planning route on a specific site.
On homeowner-led upward extensions across the borough's suburban areas through Wanstead, Woodford, Barkingside, and Gants Hill, the focus shifts to the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, neighbour relations, and protection of the existing structure during construction. Daylight and sunlight reports typically accompany the planning submission given the impact of new height on neighbouring properties.
Airspace work in Redbridge 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 Redbridge, which reviews airspace proposals on design, height, neighbour amenity, parking, and area character. The Wanstead and Snaresbrook conservation areas bring additional heritage considerations into play on more central sites. Rights of light assessments sit outside the planning process but often run in parallel where new height affects surrounding properties.
