This page provides useful links to the Planning Portal which gives general information on whether planning permission is required for your specific project, please check with your local authority for detailed requirements.

The Energy Saving Trust and the Low Carbon Building websites provide information on grant schemes – requirements and how to apply, approved products and approved installers.

STOP PRESS : After a thorough and exhaustive audit process conducted by BRE (Building Research Establishment) on behalf of the Governments Low Carbon Buildings Programme (BERR), Encompas will soon be accredited under the new Microgeneration Scheme (MSC). This scheme replaces the old Clear Skies initiative. Very few suppliers or installers have gained this accreditation to date; Encompas is very pleased to be one of the few.
