Many LPA’s (Local Planning Authorities) require new developments to provide a percentage of energy demand, or CO2 emissions reductions, from the use of on-site low carbon or renewable energy sources.

Whether the requirement be for a 10% CO2 emissions reduction, 10% energy demand reduction or CSH4/CSH5 Energy, we are experienced in providing customised reports to satisfy Planning Authorities across the whole of the UK.

What is required?

Compliance can be as simple as installing a small Solar PV (photovoltaic) array or installing a heat pump, depending on the planning condition requirement. For multiple dwellings it is usually possible to achieve compliance by installing renewables on just a small number of dwellings in a development, depending on the wording of the planning condition.

In Poole & Bournemouth for example, BCP Council require new developments to achieve a 10% Energy Demand reduction from renewables or low carbon sources (20% for developments of 10 or more new dwellings). We help our clients achieve the optimal solution for them by providing options that consider build cost as well as suitability.
