Due to our beekeeper being rehoused as a result of #EastendHomes disastrous #AirspaceDevelopment on the #EricEstate (aka #MileEndEstate), there will be no beekeeping until at least Spring 2025.

Do you live in a low-rise (~4 stories) block in the UK built before 1970? Is your landlord planning to construct additional floors? The Government exempted developments of up to two floors from planning, but they are unlikely to meet safety requirements for wind-loading and disproportionate collapse. Feel free to ask me questions.

I’ve been living in temporary accommodation since the start of the year. Our landlord is attempting to build additional floors on our building. In September, as part of the preparatory work, they damaged the roof, and my neighbours and I had water pouring into our homes.

@Thebestisyettocome No!.
To date we've been lucky compared to some other residents.

#AirSpaceDevelopment, as adding additional floors to existing buildings is called, has a terrible track record for problems but planning authorities continue to approve it.

Luckily we won't be here much longer.

Dry today thankfully, so not currently raining in our flat.
Water falling in the riser in the wall of our main bedroom yesterday, from pooled water on the roof as a result of building works to add an extra floor.
Strong smell of damp & condensation on windows.

Do planning authorities who approve such schemes ever visit to see impact on residents?

Thanks to the joys of #AirSpaceDevelopment it is raining in the services riser in our flat.
Can't say I wasn't much interested in the #landlord bemoaning the bad weather, problem of water pooling on the roof etc.
No such problems in decade we've lived here prior to his development.
