What shapes the work in Kensington.

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, which covers all of Kensington.
Extent: CL7, adopted January 2015, was the first policy to limit basement extent. Since 2024 it is Policy CD11.
Later changes: Under the 2016 SPD, the storey cannot be split later.
Neighbours: Considerate Constructors Scheme membership is set by planning condition.
On site: A Construction Traffic Management Plan goes in with the application. The Code of Construction Practice, revised 2019, governs the site.

What Kensington owners ask.

Can I build a bunker in Kensington?

Sometimes. It depends on the house and the local basement rules. We start with a private feasibility review.

Would a bunker in Kensington 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.
