Do I need planning permission?

In the UK, any property located within a conservation area, or protected as a listed building, will require permission granted by local planning authorities in order to retrofit renewable energy measures.

If you need to find out whether this applies to your property, information is recorded and publicly available on the National Heritage List for England, Historical Wales, and Historic Environment Scotland respectively.

Retrofitting renewable energy systems on listed buildings requires Listed Building Consent. We help you secure the approvals you need, balancing energy performance with heritage protection.

Our service covers feasibility advice, sensitive design proposals, and full management of your Listed Building Consent application. We work closely with conservation officers to ensure schemes are practical, compliant, and well-justified.

If you’re preparing your own application, we can provide the supporting information required, including existing and proposed plans, elevations, site plans, and Heritage Statements - clear, accurate, and ready for submission.

Listed Building Consent

Conservation Areas

Our applications consider the impact on the area’s historic character and appearance. We focus on assessing visual impact, especially from public viewpoints, and whether equipment such as solar panels alters traditional rooflines or material.

Our suggestions ensure the retrofit will minimise visibility, use sympathetic materials, and avoid damaging historic fabric. Ensuring consideration of the properties setting, nearby heritage assets, and whether the installation could be reversed without harm.

We are versed in Local policies and follow the most pertinent guidance from Historic England to ensure renewable upgrades balance sustainability with heritage protection.
