Course description
Airspace development is an area that has seen a considerable increase of interest in recent years, amongst developers and landowners alike. This is partly because the new permitted development rights (PDR) were introduced in 2020 allowing for the construction of up to two additional storeys of flats on top of some existing buildings, without the need for planning permission.
Shreena Avery presents this comprehensive and informative webinar that surveys the practical and legal aspects that developers and landowners should be aware of before embarking on an airspace scheme. It will cover how to establish who owns airspace, the lender requirements, construction considerations and much more.

Introduction
Airspace development has gained popularity over the past few years amongst developers and landowners alike, particularly since new permitted development rights (PDR) were introduced in 2020 allowing for the construction of up to two additional storeys of flats on top of some existing buildings, without the need for planning permission.
With housing supply remaining an ongoing challenge and high on the Government's agenda, airspace development could go some way in meeting demand for good quality housing, particularly in high density areas.
However, there are a number of practical and legal aspects that developers and landowners should be aware of before embarking on an airspace scheme which this webinar will consider.
