Our Design Was Rejected Because of Energy Targets
Planning application rejected. Not because of height, massing or design — but because the building didn’t meet energy efficiency requirements.
As local councils tighten their sustainability criteria, developers are being asked to demonstrate reduced carbon emissions from the outset. That means meeting demanding SAP benchmarks before shovels even hit the ground.
Don’t let your planning be refused over energy performance.
EnviroSolution helps developers, architects and planning consultants integrate energy compliance early in the design process. Our tailored SAP Calculations services identify potential shortfalls before submission and provide practical steps to overcome them.
Typical planning-stage support includes:
- Pre-application SAP strategy reports
- Thermal modelling and recommendations
- Optimised design packages to meet SAP thresholds
- Advice on renewables and low-carbon technologies
In one example, we helped a developer secure permission by integrating air source heat pumps and increasing insulation values — all while keeping costs low and the design intact.
The earlier you bring us in, the better. SAP is not just a tick-box exercise. It’s becoming a central part of planning approval.
Partner with EnviroSolution to:
- Improve chances of planning approval
- Achieve Net Zero Ready standards
- Position your scheme as environmentally responsible
Start your SAP Calculations during design, not post-approval — and avoid costly resubmissions.
