Many of the 1980s LDDC-era flats here are leasehold under a 125-year ground rent structure with the LDDC's successor body (Homes England) holding the freehold reversion, so internal alterations need parallel landlord consent through Homes England before Building Control can issue completion.
The Surrey Commercial Docks basin and Greenland Dock are managed by the Canal and River Trust, which is a statutory consultee for any works affecting the basin elevation or towpath, adding 4-6 weeks to consent on basin-frontage schemes.

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.
