Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

FAQs
Solar Panel Cleaning in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide solar panel cleaning across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
Does dirt on solar panels really reduce how much electricity they generate?
Yes — a build-up of dust, pollen or bird droppings blocks some light from reaching the cells, which can measurably reduce output, particularly on panels at a low pitch that rain doesn't naturally rinse clean.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
This depends on location and panel pitch — panels near trees or in a low-pitch position that doesn't get rinsed by rain benefit from more frequent cleaning than a steep, exposed roof. We can advise a sensible frequency when we assess your installation.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
