What an energy statement shows

The Part L baseline, the savings at each stage of the energy hierarchy, and the renewable technologies that close the gap.

Part L 2021 & the London Plan

The energy rules your application is judged against.

Councils assess new schemes against Building Regulations Part L 2021 using the SAP 10.2 methodology — and London boroughs add the London Plan’s 35% on-site carbon reduction policy with cash offsets for any shortfall.

When an energy statement is required

Check your council’s validation list — statements are routinely required for:

  • New dwellings — houses and flats in most authorities
  • London schemes — the 35% Policy SI2 target plus carbon offsetting
  • Larger extensions and conversions — where local policy asks for it
  • Commercial floorspace — non-domestic Part L applies

What your statement must demonstrate

A policy-compliant energy case:

  • Part L 2021 baseline — via the SAP 10.2 notional building method
  • The full energy hierarchy — Be Lean, Be Clean, Be Green with CO₂ savings at each stage
  • Site-specific renewables — solar and energy data fetched for your site
  • London offset calculation — the SI2 shortfall priced for section 106
  • Submission-ready PDF — with a unique document reference

FAQ

Energy statements — explained.

Quick answers to the questions applicants ask us most.

Ask anything
Who needs an energy statement?
Most councils require one for new dwellings and significant floorspace; every London borough expects the energy hierarchy to be followed for relevant schemes.
What is the energy hierarchy?
Be Lean (reduce demand through fabric), Be Clean (efficient supply), Be Green (renewables) — savings are calculated and reported at each stage in that order.
How do London schemes hit 35%?
Fabric improvements plus heat pumps and solar PV do the heavy lifting under SAP 10.2 carbon factors; any residual shortfall becomes a carbon offset payment — estimate yours with the calculator on the tools page.
What does a shortfall cost in London?
Boroughs charge per tonne over 30 years — the GLA-recommended price is £95/tonne, though some boroughs set their own.

The energy statement hit the London 35% carbon target with a heat pump and rooftop solar — exactly what the validation checklist asked for. Straightforward from start to finish.

As a planning consultant I use them across energy, sustainability and daylight. The reports read like the big-name consultancies' work at a fraction of the fee.

Needed an energy statement to discharge a planning condition on a small block of flats. Clear compliance route, delivered on time. Excellent value.

The fabric-first approach and PV sizing were spot on and the officer accepted it without question. Would use again.
