Overview
Entrust Services worked with The Little Green Energy Company to obtain planning permission and listed building consent for a series of energy efficiency improvements on a Grade II listed Georgian manor house in Kent. The project involved installing heritage timber double-glazed windows, a ground source heat pump, and ground-mounted solar PV panels in the property’s garden.
Challenge and Solution
Working on a listed property required meticulous research into the building’s original features and consultation with Historic England. Entrust Services conducted a Cultural Heritage Assessment to distinguish between the Georgian design and later Victorian and 1960s additions, ensuring the upgrades were sympathetic to the property’s historic character.
Impact
With planning approval granted, these energy-efficient enhancements will help maintain the manor’s historic charm while significantly reducing energy consumption, contributing to the property’s sustainability for years to come.
