Planning application support
ASK Consultants supports domestic planning applications with the energy documentation they need: Part L compliance documents and Domestic compliance guidance reports, prepared by Austin Kielty, a qualified, SEAI-registered assessor who also handles the technical assessment and final BER on the same project if you want one point of contact throughout.
What this covers
Documentation and guidance for the energy side of a domestic planning application: what the regulations require, what specification will meet them, and the compliance reports that demonstrate it.
- Part L compliance documents: calculations and documentation showing the proposed dwelling meets the energy requirements.
- Domestic compliance guidance reports: plain-English guidance on how the proposed home will comply, useful both for the application and as a reference through the build.
- Continuity to the finished house: the same assessor can carry the project through technical assessment during construction to the final BER.
Common questions
How does Austin help with a planning application?
ASK Consultants provides the energy-related documentation a domestic planning application needs, including Part L compliance documents and Domestic compliance guidance reports, prepared by a qualified, SEAI-registered assessor. You or your designer submit them as part of the application.
What is a Domestic compliance guidance report?
A report that sets out how a proposed dwelling will comply with the relevant energy requirements, in a form that supports the planning application and guides the project afterwards. It turns the regulations into a concrete specification for your specific house.
Do I still need an architect or engineer for the application?
Austin’s role covers the energy compliance documentation and guidance, not the design or submission of the application itself. He works alongside whoever is preparing your application (architect, engineer or architectural technician) and gives them the compliance documents they need.
