Energy efficiency

If you wish to apply for a grant under the LCBP Phase 2, your building/s need to meet the building regulations applicable at the time of construction or major refurbishment. 

Although there are no additional energy efficiency criteria to be met within the application process of Phase 2 extension, we strongly encourage prospective applicants to ensure they have taken all necessary energy efficiency measures as this will ensure a more effective microgeneration installation. Additional questions might need to be answered to ensure that good levels of energy efficiency have been implemented in order to obtain maximum benefit from the installation. If none have been implemented a strong commitment to do so needs to be demonstrated.

For further information on buildings regulations please go to www.planningportal.gov.uk or check the organisation on our Links page.
