Local Challenges
Basements in Ealing
Ealing Council has specific planning policies regarding basement developments, focusing on mitigating flood risk, ground movement, and impact on neighbours. Our Basement Impact Assessments (BIAs) and structural designs directly address these concerns. We consider local ground conditions, such as London Clay, and the proximity of neighbouring Victorian and Edwardian foundations to develop safe and compliant schemes.
