The practice is RICS regulated and our surveyors carry over 30 years of combined experience. Daylight and sunlight reports typically accompany the planning submission to Epping Forest District Council, particularly for schemes near the conservation areas around the abbey.
Where a developer is adding flats above an existing residential block, the role widens to full occupant liaison. We make initial contact with each leaseholder, hold attended 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 construction. Practical site issues, scaffolding, deliveries, parking, access, get resolved as they arise, with airspace development advice covering the wider planning and feasibility picture.
Airspace work in Waltham Abbey 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.
Planning sits with Epping Forest District Council, which reviews airspace proposals on design, height, neighbour amenity, parking, and area character. Some upward extensions in Waltham Abbey fall within permitted development with prior approval, while larger rooftop schemes need a full planning application. Party wall services usually run alongside the airspace work itself. A free initial assessment covers the likely route for a given site.
