Common Building Issues in Charlton

Damp in Victorian terrace solid brick walls, structural movement in new-build riverside apartments on former industrial Thames-side ground, flat-roof failures on post-war social housing common in Charlton property are exactly the kind of finding that, left out of the requirements, generates disputed variations later; our employer's agent role includes making sure they're properly reflected before contract execution.

Planning and Conservation in Charlton

Charlton Village Conservation Area; Greenwich Council applies strict controls; the riverside setting requires specialist flood risk assessment; the former Siemens industrial site is a major regeneration area. Where a Charlton scheme needs heritage consent, we build the realistic timeline into the project programme from the outset, since assuming a faster route than the constraint allows is a common cause of employer's agent instructions turning contentious.

The local context on this page is drawn from public planning and conservation sources, together with the professional framework Employer's Agent appointments run on: Royal Greenwich conservation areas; Royal Greenwich Article 4 direction areas; RICS Rules of Conduct; Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015; Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (payment). These sources support the area context; they do not replace inspection of the specific building, and the exact planning, conservation-area and Article 4 position should be confirmed with the council for the specific address.
