Planning support
Planning authorities now require energy statements as part of the planning permission process for new dwellings. EAC South West prepares clear, policy-compliant statements that set out how your proposal prioritises low-energy, sustainable outcomes — without unnecessary cost. We cover Cornwall (Penzance, Truro, Falmouth, St Ives) and the wider South West.
What we cover
Energy statements are used to demonstrate how a property has been designed to prioritise a low-energy, sustainable living environment through the inclusion of:
A fabric-first approach that reduces heat loss through walls, roofs, floors and openings.
Efficient plant and sensible controls that lower demand and running costs.
Appropriate LZC technologies (where viable) to support local policy objectives.
Send us your drawings/spec and we’ll prepare a clear, policy-aligned statement quickly — aligned to Cornwall and South West planning policy.
Most new dwellings require an energy statement at planning stage. We align your submission with local low-carbon and sustainability policies.
Site address, drawings (plans/elevations/sections), outline specification for fabric, heating/hot water, and any proposed low/zero-carbon technologies.
The statement takes a fabric-first approach that complements your SAP calculation and later EPC, helping you de-risk compliance early.
