No home can promise survival from a nuclear attack. Close to a detonation, or in a mass fire, it may offer little. It can reduce some risks at a distance.
What shapes the work in Chelsea.
Planning shapes a protected room before engineering does. These are the local basement rules, and your house may add more.
- Council
- Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Chelsea sits wholly inside it.
- Policy CD11
- Adopted as CL7 in January 2015, kept in the 2024 Local Plan. One storey, under half the garden.
- Basements SPD
- Adopted April 2016. The storey cannot be split in two later. A pool may earn a little extra depth.
- The garden
- The garden left over must stay as one area. It is usually the end furthest from the house.
- Neighbours
- Considerate Constructors Scheme membership is set by planning condition.
What Chelsea owners ask.
Can I build a bunker in Chelsea?
Sometimes. It depends on the house and the local basement rules. We start with a private feasibility review.
Would a bunker in Chelsea survive a nuclear attack?
We cannot promise that. We can plan a protected room within a basement, with specialist engineers.
What does it cost?
It is a specialist service, so we cannot give prices at an early stage. We price it once the brief is agreed.
