What is new though is the emergence of Local Neighbourhood Plans which set guidelines for development in a particular area \u2013 and the plans for this particular basement are said to go against Camden\u2019s new Local Plan. The Local Plan, adopted by Camden council on July 3, states that basements must not be built under existing basements.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen what conclusions come from this new row. One thing we can conclude though is it\u2019s evident that digging deep with a basement excavations is still very much in the minds of property owners and developers.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, it\u2019s not just homeowners with limited land that are considering this approach either. Only this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/cities\/2017\/jul\/17\/london-park-underground-mega-basement\">the Guardian has reported that former farm land in Hounslow is \u201cset to get the \u2018mega-basement to end all mega-basements\u2019<\/a> as \u00a350m-worth of gravel is excavated to create the UK\u2019s biggest subterranean space, with a new public park on top\u201d. Not quite a renovation project nor the type of basement excavations that we\u2019ve seen in London so far, but a clear example of the continuing desire to gain more space in city locations and the excavation approach that makes it possible.<\/p>\n<p>Planning a renovation project and considering a basement excavation as part of the development? If so, you\u2019ll find our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/renovationinsurancebrokers.co.uk\/blog\/2016\/10\/24\/going-underground-key-insurance-considerations-for-basement-conversions\/\">key insurance considerations for basement conversions<\/a> will make interesting reading \u2013 outlining the top questions to ask and answer before any basement project gets underway.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<footer>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/footer>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t&#13;\n\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; Posted on Thursday, August 3rd, 2017 at 2:37 pm.
