Planning guidance & energy statements

Energy Statements are a requirement for most major developments. We have considerable experience in the advocacy of energy strategies that meet the requirements of local planning authorities, which is proven by many high-profile planning consents.

Our sustainability team ensure that the practice is kept up-to-date with central and local government policy on energy and carbon management. Several of our staff contribute to government task forces and expert panels.

Our approach is typically to work hand-in-glove with the M&E engineers on the project to design a robust energy strategy integrated with the building design, and to prioritise integrated energy efficiency measures over more complex renewable energy solutions.
