Prepare a solar enquiry

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

BEFORE YOU ASK FOR A QUOTE

Your Kelvedon and Feering
decision points.

Both villages have separate conservation area records with different designation dates, so residents should identify which village and which boundary applies before choosing a roof slope.

01 / PROPERTY CHECK

Two villages, two conservation areas

Braintree District Council records the Kelvedon conservation area (designated 19 June 1969) and the Feering conservation area (designated 27 May 1976). Inside either, panels relying on permitted development cannot be fitted to a roof slope fronting a highway, so a rear or side slope is usually the first option to model.

02 / PROPERTY CHECK

Feering record and the council checker

The Feering record is separate on the council's directory. For either village, use the council's guidance on whether you need permission with the actual proposal, and confirm listed status for older cottages before a survey.

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 ↗
  • Which village your address is in and whether it is inside that conservation area.
  • Which roof slopes face the street.
  • Whether the building is listed.
  • Electricity bill and whether a battery is wanted.
