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 Westminster.
Planning shapes a protected room before engineering does. These are the local basement rules, and your house may add more.
- Council
- City of Westminster, with over 11,000 listed buildings across the city.
- Depth
- Policy 50 permits one storey under the lowest original floor.
- Listed houses
- A basement must not unbalance a listed building’s original hierarchy of spaces.
- Flood risk
- Flood zones 2 and 3 need a site specific flood risk assessment.
- Garden cover
- A metre of soil and a 200mm drainage layer sit above a garden basement.
What Westminster owners ask.
Can I build a bunker in Westminster?
Sometimes. It depends on the house and the local basement rules. We start with a private feasibility review.
Would a bunker in Westminster 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.
