Energy statements FAQs
Does my application need an energy statement?
Check the council's validation checklist and any planning condition. As a guide, most major schemes need one, and some councils ask for smaller schemes too. Send us the site address and we'll tell you.
Can the energy statement lock me into expensive technology?
It can if it's written carelessly. We set out a realistic strategy you can actually deliver, so you aren't committed to something that fails at Building Control or costs more than it should.
Can you discharge an existing planning condition?
Yes. Send us the decision notice and drawings and we'll prepare the information needed to discharge the energy or renewables condition.
