Brent's Harlesden ward is inside the Additional HMO Licensing scheme, so any rear extension on a property let to 3+ unrelated occupants triggers a parallel HMO licence variation alongside the Building Regs application.
Many of the late-Victorian terraces here were built on made-up ground over the original Grand Junction Canal cut, and foundation surveys often find ash and clinker fill at 0.6-1.4m depth; rear extensions routinely need pile foundations rather than spread-footing under Building Regs Approved Document A.

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.
