Suitable Sites for Rooftop Development

Our team at London Penthouse can professionally assess whether your building may be viable for airspace development.

With over 80 years of experience in our team, we know which key areas to evaluate if you’re interested in extending your building through rooftop construction. In most cases, we can overcome obstacles with innovative design, but our core assessment will involve the following:

• Structural strength – Is the building structurally capable of taking the weight of an additional storey?
• Is the existing staircase/lift core able to be extended to roof level?
• Planning and party wall agreements – Would the development receive positive planning consent? This is something we can advise on and cover fees for should we believe planning consent is possible.
• Is the property a listed building or in a conservation area? This could impact the planning application process.

These are some of the larger considerations when identifying suitable sites for rooftop development. If you’re a leaseholder, freeholder or property manager and want to explore the option of airspace development for a building, our team would be happy to hear from you.
