What a commercial fit-out project looks like here
Battersea Power Station (Grade II*) has a 500m setting zone where Wandsworth Council has refused rear extensions on even unlisted terraces on setting-of-heritage-asset grounds — a surprise for buyers 300m away.
Nine Elms Opportunity Area planning allows tall buildings, but its transport infrastructure Section 106 tariffs are among the highest in London (£70-£160/m² on schemes above 500 m²) — meaningful on new-build but catches extensions that add >50 m².
Because Battersea's riverside sits in EA flood zone 3 (tidal Thames), any basement conversion requires FRA with raised thresholds and sump-and-NRV fitout — approximately £12,000-£20,000 adder on typical spec.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
