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 Fulham.
Planning shapes a protected room before engineering does. These are the local basement rules, and your house may add more.
- Council
- London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Kensington and Chelsea’s CD11 does not apply here.
- Size
- Local Plan Policy DC11 allows one storey. Into the garden, it may reach half the house’s depth at most. It may also cover half the garden’s depth at most.
- The garden
- The garden left over must stay in one piece. At least one metre of soil goes over any part under the garden.
- Lightwells
- A lightwell at the front or side must be as discreet as possible. The terrace should look largely unchanged.
- Flood risk
- Over 60% of the borough is in flood zones 2 and 3. The Thames defences protect it, but a flood risk assessment is still needed.
What Fulham owners ask.
Can I build a bunker in Fulham?
Sometimes. It depends on the house and the local basement rules. We start with a private feasibility review.
Would a bunker in Fulham 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.
