Do You Need An Energy Statement?
What is an Energy Statement?
An Energy Statement is a comprehensive, detailed report outlining how developments will meet regional or national energy or carbon targets.
Many local authorities require Energy Statements to support planning applications. These reports demonstrate how a development will meet energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and sustainability targets while complying with Building Regulations and local planning policies. Planning applications that may need an energy statement include:
- New residential developments
- Commercial projects
- Mixed-used schemes
- Major extensions
- Sustainable developments
This is because local authorities are now obligated to encourage sustainable development through the introduction of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). This manifests itself into CO2 reduction targets, BREEAM standards, and sustainability requirements set for developments.
