What is a Sustainability & Energy Report?
Sustainability & Energy Reports are increasingly required by local authorities to support planning applications. Reports can be tailored to respond to specific planning policies or Supplementary Planning Guidance, including requirements to generate a percentage of the site’s energy from renewable technologies. While there is overlap with the content of a LZC feasibility report they may differ in the need to cover a broader range of sustainability criteria.

What does the Sustainability Report include?
Sustainability reports can cover a variety of topics, dependent upon planning requirements, including; site data, biodiversity, water, transportation, waste minimisation, built environment, materials and energy.  Energy reports include planning requirements, predicted energy consumption, alternative technology proposals, costs and funding.
