Holly Lodge Estate Conservation Area draft energy efficiency planning guidance

Overview

We have drafted new planning guidance to provide advice and information to householders who are considering making energy efficiency improvements to their homes in Holly Lodge Estate Conservation Area. This guidance aims to provide residents with clear information about how these improvements can be made to homes without harming the character and appearance of the conservation area.  
It explains which measures require planning permission, and then gives guidance on which works are likely to be granted permission.  The measures considered range from small DIY interventions to larger building projects. Some of the measure will change the appearance of buildings in the area.

The guidance has been produced as part of a pilot project and is a precursor to guidance for all homes in Camden conservation areas.
