Energy Statements for Planning Applications – Fast, Reliable & UK-Wide
Are you preparing a planning application for a residential or commercial development? If so, many local authorities now require an Energy Statement. These documents demonstrate how your project meets specific carbon reduction and sustainability policies.
At Assessment Hive, we provide fully compliant Energy Statements to support planning submissions across London, Kent, Essex, and the entire UK. Whether you’re a developer, architect, or homeowner, our service ensures you stay compliant — while saving time and reducing stress.
📘 What Is an Energy Statement?
An Energy Statement is a planning requirement in many parts of the UK. It outlines how your proposed development will:
-
Reduce carbon emissions
-
Use low-carbon and renewable energy
-
Improve energy efficiency through smart design
While SAP or SBEM Calculations determine performance metrics, an Energy Statement brings these results together in a clear format for planners. Therefore, it is a vital document that communicates your commitment to sustainable development.

💼 Who Needs an Energy Statement?
You’ll likely need an Energy Statement if:
-
You are applying for planning permission on a new build or large refurbishment
-
Your site falls within a Low Carbon or Sustainable Planning Policy area
-
The local authority follows the London Plan or similar guidance
For example, boroughs such as Camden, Hackney, and Croydon typically require detailed sustainability evidence. In these cases, submitting an Energy Statement early can prevent delays and improve your chance of approval.
🔍 What’s Included in Our Energy Statements?
Every Energy Statement is customised to meet your local authority’s policy. As a result, it covers:
-
🔸 Existing and proposed energy demand
-
🔸 CO₂ emissions and percentage reduction
-
🔸 The energy hierarchy (lean, clean, green)
-
🔸 Integration of renewables (solar, heat pumps, etc.)
-
🔸 Summary of SAP or SBEM outputs
-
🔸 Cost-benefit analysis of selected technologies
In addition, we include commentary explaining your development’s compliance in easy-to-read language — which can be helpful for planning officers unfamiliar with technical details.
