Adding floors above existing buildings — applied to Bolton Council in the North West. With low Building Safety Act friction and an average build cost of £1900/sqm, the deal arithmetic for airspace & Rooftop Development here is distinct from neighbouring boroughs.
Bolton Council does not currently operate Article 4 on residential PD, so airspace & Rooftop Development can proceed via the standard prior-approval route in most cases.
Run any North West listing through Scapely to get a property-specific build cost, council objection-risk score and the Roof-Loading & PD Eligibility Check overlay applied to Bolton Council's policy environment.
