Planning, Party Wall and Building Control in Prime Central London

In prime central London, the question is rarely whether a house can be transformed - it is what the planners, the neighbours and the structure will allow. We answer that question early, honestly and from experience.

​

Two decades of working with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and neighbouring authorities gives us a clear view of what is likely to be approved: basements and their extent, rear and top-floor extensions, alterations to listed buildings, and works within conservation areas - which cover much of Chelsea, Kensington, Holland Park and Notting Hill.

​

Party wall matters are handled with the same care. These projects sit wall-to-wall with neighbours, and we run the notices, awards and relationships properly - because a project that keeps its neighbours onside runs faster and more quietly than one that does not.

​

Building control, structural sign-off and the co-ordination of engineers and surveyors run through our own team, so consents, drawings and construction never drift apart.

​

For buyers, this experience is available before you commit: we assess planning likelihood as part of our pre-purchase feasibility work, removing a key risk from the decision to offer.
