UK Government is encouraging upward extensions as &amp;quot;&amp;quot;Permitted Development&amp;quot;&amp;quot;, there is a lack of upward extension uptake.

**Market opportunity** -- London urban rooftop homes worth &amp;pound;51.2bn in 2018, predicted 3.6% CAGR to &amp;pound;63.3bn by 2024\. Global worth &amp;pound;3.9tr in 2018, 3.2% CAGR to &amp;pound;4.7tr by 2024\.

**Project vision** and innovation -- HEART will lead to affordable and accessible key urban worker housing in urban centres.

**Focus area and Key objectives** -- HEART would enable Industrial Research collaboration to experiment with surveying technologies and new data-driven applications.

**Project -** This risky project is carefully and robustly planned, considering market needs, to overcome innovation and market barriers.

**Team -** This project will enable Skyroom and Urban Intelligence to collaborate bringing together 10 highly-skilled and innovative R&amp;amp;D staff, including and lead by Arthur Kay, Skyroom's founder and CEO. The team has the necessary skills and experience to run and complete the project successfully and on time.

**Sustainable Productivity and export -** Following project completion, HEART will be rapidly commercialised (both UK and globally exported). HEART will create sustainable productivity and export opportunities for the project partners.&amp;quot;</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
