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 Pimlico.
Planning shapes a protected room before engineering does. These are the local basement rules, and your house may add more.
- Council
- City of Westminster. Pimlico sits within the Pimlico Conservation Area.
- Permission
- A citywide Article 4 direction, since July 2016, removes basement permitted development.
- Depth
- Policy 50. One storey below the lowest original floor.
- Vaults
- Up to 1.8 metres below the highway. 900mm must stay above the vault.
- Flood risk
- Flood zones 2 and 3 need a site specific flood risk assessment.
What Pimlico owners ask.
Can I build a bunker in Pimlico?
Sometimes. It depends on the house and the local basement rules. We start with a private feasibility review.
Would a bunker in Pimlico 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.
