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 Highgate.
Planning shapes a protected room before engineering does. These are the local basement rules, and your house may add more.
- Council
- Haringey or Camden, set by the address. Both adopted the 2017 neighbourhood plan.
- DM18 tests
- Stability, flooding, trees, character and amenity are each weighed. Adequate soil stays over garden sections.
- Front light wells
- Under DM18, one may not take more than 50% of the front garden.
- Camden size
- Policy A5. One storey, half of each garden at most, under 1.5 times the footprint.
- Camden neighbours
- Damage next door is capped at Burland category 1, checked by an audited assessment.
What Highgate owners ask.
Can I build a bunker in Highgate?
Sometimes. It depends on the house and the local basement rules. We start with a private feasibility review.
Would a bunker in Highgate 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.
