High property values and a lack of land for development has resulted in property owners extending their homes and a surge in the excavation of underground basements. This can cause significant disruption to and disturbance of neighbours.

Generally it is up to a local planning authority to decide whether to allow a particular development or not. However, in England and Wales, the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 enables central government to permit certain types of developments known as permitted developments. These are generally minor changes to existing properties. Permitted developments do not require approval from the local planning authority as permission is granted by the Order.

The Basement Excavation (Restriction of Permitted Development) Bill 2015-16 is a Private Member’s Bill introduced to Parliament on 16 September 2015 by Karen Buck MP under the Ten Minute Rule which allows an MP to make the case for a new bill in a speech lasting up to ten minutes. If the MP is successful the bill is taken to have had its first reading.

It is described as ‘A Bill to restrict the application of permitted development rights; to grant local planning authorities powers to restrict the size and depth of basement excavations underneath or adjacent to residential properties; and for connected purposes.’

Making her case for the Bill, Karen Buck said:

“The impact of the size and scale of basement excavations on immediate neighbours is hard to overstate. Soil removal alone on this scale takes time and generates a significant traffic volume, often causing damage to roads and pavements nearby. Noise levels are hellish.

Little or no thought seems to have been given to the plight of nearby residents who would be expected to endure noise, vibration and dust for at least a year. He welcomed a growing recognition of the hardship experienced by ordinary residents, who more and more find themselves in the frontline of such works, but of course we are not there yet.

“… However—and this is my main motivation for bringing the issue back to this House—local authority policies are not the final word.

Surely councils should not have to go cap in hand to the Secretary of State for the right to set and enforce policies of this kind, in keeping with their local priorities and the wishes of their residents, and that is what my Bill proposes.”

The Bill is expected to have its second reading debate on Friday 29 January 2016.
