Use this checklist for the following applications:
- All householder applications
- All minor applications – commercial and residential
Policy CC1 of the Central Bedfordshire Council Local Plan requires that all new development is designed to
- Increase its resilience to impacts of climate change
- Take full advantage of opportunities to incorporate renewable energy technologies
- Reduce carbon emissions; and
- Achieve the higher water efficiency standard of 110 litres per person per day.
This checklist must be completed for all householder applications that require Building Regulations Part L (Conservation of fuel and power) to demonstrate compliance with these policy requirements.
If your proposal is exempt from Part L. Please select the relevant option and submit with your application.
This will avoid your application being made invalid for not providing the required documents.
If you are unsure whether your proposal requires Part L certification, please seek advice from your builder, agent or architect or a qualified energy assessor before submitting your application.
Please submit a copy of this checklist with your application to avoid delays in validation. Please note, this document once completed WILL NOT automatically be received by the Planning department. The document will be emailed to you upon completion (please check your junk/spam folders if not received within 10 minutes) which you will then need to include alongside your other supporting documents when submitting your application. Failure to provide this document will result in delays to the validation of your application.
