Energy Assessment for Planning & Sustainability Solutions
Aval’s Energy & Sustainability Consultants provide planning-led sustainability advice to support development proposals and assist clients in meeting national and local planning policy requirements.
Energy and sustainability statements are often required by Local Planning Authorities to accompany planning applications and demonstrate how a development will address energy efficiency, carbon reduction, climate resilience and sustainable design objectives.
Our consultants work closely with clients, architects, planners and the wider Aval multidisciplinary team to deliver practical, policy-compliant solutions that support sustainable development and successful planning outcomes.
Through detailed analysis, modelling and policy review, we provide clear recommendations tailored to the requirements of each site and development proposal.
