Government legislation in 2020 introduced ‘Fast-Tracked Approval For Building Upwards’ – the aim being, to provide an estimated 800 new homes per year by building upwards on top of purpose-built flats and an additional 7,800 homes per year for all other building up rights. Protecting garden space, avoiding significant disruption of basement conversions, boosting the construction sector by creating jobs and assisting the housing market post covid.
We at Austin Gray LLP were delighted to bring to market, an exciting development opportunity – to build a 3rd floor at
Dubarry House, a stunning iconic Edwardian building creating three bespoke luxury penthouse apartments in central Hove – in keeping with the ‘Building Upwards’ legislation. This exciting development opportunity drew in a lot of interest and we’re keen to watch the build as it unfolds.
In other news, we’re excited to be launching – ‘Roof Top Development, Kemptown House, Mighell Street, Brighton’ – providing an opportunity to create 2 penthouse apartments in a central location in the city.
If ‘Kemptown House’ is of interest to you or indeed if you own a property for which this legislation presents an opportunity – then give us a call – our Surveyors, Valuers and property experts will be delighted to offer their expertise, after all ‘the only way IS UP’!
