London Borough of Richmond upon Thames has issued a Good practice guide on basement developments that I edited and wrote together with their planning policy manager. It provides advice on both planning as well as non-planning matters, and covers permits and requirements, and local amenity, construction and design issues, summarised below.
Richmond has also issued a revised SPD on House extensions and external alterations that I prepared together with their deputy development manager and planning policy manager.
I also aided Richmond in updating their Local validation checklist as well as prepared internal guidance on conversion of office to housing and play space provisions whilst there.
