Energy Statements built around planning policy.
Clear energy and carbon strategies for residential, commercial and mixed-use planning applications, shaped around the requirements of the relevant planning authority.
Turn energy policy requirements into a clear planning strategy.
An Energy Statement explains how a proposed development will reduce energy use and carbon emissions and meet the requirements of the relevant planning authority.
We review the proposed development, identify the relevant policy requirements and set out practical energy and carbon measures that can be incorporated into the design.
Review of local planning policy and energy requirements
Energy and carbon strategy for the proposed development
Practical measures that can be incorporated into the design
Clear evidence to support the planning submission

Property developers
For schemes that need a clear energy strategy and supporting evidence for planning.
Architects
Coordinate energy targets with the design, materials and building systems from an early stage.
Planning consultants
Respond to energy requirements and provide clear evidence to support planning submissions.
Concept and planning
Establish the energy strategy early, before the design and specification become harder to change.
Building an energy strategy around the planning requirements.
We review the proposed development against the relevant planning policy and identify the measures and evidence needed to support the application.
Relevant local planning policy and energy requirements
Baseline energy demand and carbon emissions
Energy efficiency measures and building fabric
Low-carbon heating and renewable technologies
Carbon reduction and renewable energy targets
Clear evidence and recommendations for the planning submission
From planning policy to a clear energy strategy.
Review the requirements
We review the local planning policy, development proposals and any specific energy or carbon requirements.
Assess the development
We consider the proposed building, energy demand, carbon emissions and opportunities to improve performance.
Develop the strategy
We set out practical energy efficiency, low-carbon and renewable measures that can be incorporated into the design.
Prepare the evidence
We produce the Energy Statement and supporting information needed for the planning submission.
A clear strategy ready for your planning submission.

Common questions
What is an Energy Statement?
An Energy Statement explains how a proposed development will reduce energy use and carbon emissions and meet the relevant local planning requirements. It typically forms part of the supporting information submitted with a planning application.
When do I need an Energy Statement?
Requirements vary between local authorities and development types. An Energy Statement is often required as part of a planning application, so it is best to identify the relevant requirements early in the design and planning process.
What information do you need to prepare one?
Useful information includes the site address, proposed plans, development type, floor areas, building use, specification and any relevant planning or energy policy requirements already identified by the project team.
Can the Energy Statement be updated if the design changes?
Yes. Where the design or specification changes during the planning process, we can review the proposed changes and update the Energy Statement so the supporting evidence remains aligned with the development.
Other assessments that may support your project.
Energy Statements often form part of a wider planning and design process. These services may also be relevant to your development.
