We have an established Hampshire presence with experience on south coast residential schemes. The practice is RICS regulated, and rights of light assessments often accompany schemes that add height in the tighter parts of the outer suburbs.
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 issues, scaffolding, deliveries, parking, access, get resolved as they arise, with daylight and sunlight reports typically forming part of the planning submission.
Airspace work in Winchester 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.
Some upward extensions on detached and semi-detached houses can proceed under permitted development with a prior approval application. Rooftop additions to blocks of flats almost always need a full planning application. Right of light claims sit outside the planning process. A free initial assessment covers feasibility and the most likely planning route for a given site.
