Prepare a solar enquiry

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

BEFORE YOU ASK FOR A QUOTE

Your Maldon
decision points.

Maldon District Council publishes a Maldon conservation area appraisal, so residents can check the boundary and the roofscape the council protects before choosing which slope carries panels.

01 / PROPERTY CHECK

Read the Maldon appraisal for the boundary

Maldon District Council lists 15 conservation areas including Maldon itself, with a review and character appraisal available to download. Use it to see whether your street is inside and what features the council considers important, then ask the installer to design around a road-facing slope if you are inside.

02 / PROPERTY CHECK

Carrying out work in a conservation area

The council's guidance on carrying out work in a conservation area explains the additional controls that apply, including to trees. Ask the council about the actual proposal rather than assuming, and keep any written response with your 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 the Maldon conservation area boundary.
  • Which slopes face the street and which face the garden or estuary.
  • Whether the building is listed.
  • Electricity bill and whether you want a battery.

MALDON QUESTIONS

Before you
take the next step.

Planning authority: Maldon District Council.

Is Heybridge covered by the same rules?

Heybridge Basin has its own conservation area on the council's list; the rest of Heybridge is generally outside. Check the specific address.

Can I fit panels on a Maldon High Street property?

Possibly, but the road-facing slope is restricted under permitted development in a conservation area, and listed buildings need consent. Ask the council about the actual proposal.

Who decides?

Maldon District Council is the planning authority.
