Passivehaus Certified
What is Passivehaus?
This sought-after standard relates to the design and construction of homes that are exceptionally energy-efficient. This results in a home that is both comfortable and requires minimal energy to run. Sometimes referred to as Passive House, the standards required are tightly controlled by the Passivhaus-Institut in Germany. Studies show that houses built to this standard require only a fraction of the energy to heat that typical houses in the UK require, and considerably less than a typical new-build house.
planning applications in Chalfont St Giles
Chalfont St Giles is a beautiful village on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, and part of the commuter belt for London. The good travel connections and scenic surroundings makes it a sought-after area, and consequently a good area to invest in property. Extending or rebuilding houses in this area requires planning permission from Buckinghamshire Council and will also be reviewed by Chalfont St Giles Parish Council. The old centre of the village is designated as a conservation area, which will require further planning details and approval. Check the map of conservation areas and monuments. In common with much of South Buckinghamshire, the village is surrounded by Green Belt, which brings other restrictions. In many cases, permitted development can be considered – please get in touch to discuss your needs.
