Prepare a solar enquiry

Two Rivers Solar is an independent referral service, not the installer. This is a preview: installer coverage for Brentwood is not yet confirmed and nothing is sent from the planner.

BEFORE YOU ASK FOR A QUOTE

Your Brentwood
decision points.

Brentwood's published list shows that residential areas such as Hutton Village are conservation areas, so the boundary check matters for suburban streets as well as the town centre.

01 / PROPERTY CHECK

Thirteen conservation areas, including residential ones

Brentwood Borough Council lists 13 conservation areas with adoption dates, including Brentwood Town Centre (2000, amended 2010) and Hutton Village (1986, residential area). Check whether your address is inside any of them before deciding which roof slope to use; inside, the highway-facing restriction applies under permitted development.

02 / PROPERTY CHECK

Listed buildings and the local heritage list

The council publishes a listed buildings page and a local heritage list. Panels are not permitted development on a building in the grounds of a listed building. If your home is older, confirm its status before the survey and keep the council's answer with the quote.

MAKE THE FIRST CONVERSATION USEFUL

What to have
ready.

Use information you already hold. The receiving installer would confirm coverage and assess the property before proposing any work.

Read the installation guide ↗ Solar with a battery ↗
  • Your address and whether it is inside one of the 13 conservation areas.
  • Which roof slopes face a road.
  • Whether the building is listed or locally listed.
  • Electricity bill and whether a battery is wanted.

BRENTWOOD QUESTIONS

Before you
take the next step.

Planning authority: Brentwood Borough Council.

How do I check my property if the council lookup is down?

The council page says to email enquiries@brentwood.gov.uk for conservation area information while the property service is unavailable. Use the published list and maps in the meantime.

Does Green Belt affect roof panels?

Not usually for panels on an existing house, but it affects other works. Confirm the specific proposal with the council.

Which council?

Brentwood Borough Council.
