Tresooth Holiday Cottages, Cornwall
How we helped …
Focus 360 Energy has extensive experience with Cornwall-based projects, utilizing our in-depth knowledge of the Climate Emergency Development Plan Document (DPD) and Policy SC1 to deliver energy statements that meet planning requirements.
- Climate Emergency DPD (adopted February 2023) advances Cornwall’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2030, introducing policies on renewable energy, sustainable construction, and climate resilience.
- Policy SC1 requires new developments to achieve a 19% improvement in energy efficiency over national standards and incorporate on-site renewable energy.
In line with Cornwall’s planning standards, we have utilized the Energy Summary Tool, developed by Cornwall Council, to support the energy assessment for the eight holiday cottages.
Focus 360 Energy was approached directly by the client to provide an Energy Statement for a unique development of eight holiday cottages in Cornwall—seven new builds and one conversion. Our expertise ensured that the project met the Cornwall Local Plan’s energy requirements, paving the way for a smooth planning approval process. This case study highlights our ability to deliver tailored, efficient support for diverse projects, helping clients navigate local regulations with confidence.
