Keep studio-layout changes separate from the original form (Battersea Licence To Alter)
No scheme in one of them (in Battersea) (in Battersea) should be priced until the block's own drawings and maintenance records have been obtained, and the lease read for where the flat ends and for the treatment of roofs, parapets and risers; across Battersea conversions, extract ductwork in Battersea and condenser limits are reviewed. A licence covers work inside what is already let, and no further; a scheme that would take in space beyond it - a length of roof void, a lightwell, a cupboard off the common stair - needs the boundary itself moved, by deed of variation or supplemental lease.
