H Fraser Consulting provides Basement Impact Assessments for basement developments in London.
London Basement Impact Assessment specialists
Basement developments are becoming increasingly popular across London, with many boroughs now requiring a Basement Impact Assessment (BIA) as part of the planning application process. BIA requirements vary by borough and depend on the type of development. Our track record includes complying with the most rigorous requirements from Camden, Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea and Islington.
H Fraser Consulting provides expert hydrogeological consultancy to help developers and architects navigate complex BIA requirements, ensuring compliance while optimising design efficiency. We support architects, planners, structural engineers, developers, and homeowners in securing planning permission for basement extensions, new basements, or basements within new builds.

We deliver the following services for basement projects:
- Environmental desk study
