    Hi all,

    The planning people have asked me to submit proposals for compliance with part L.

    Does anyone know what the planning people are looking for here?

    I'm getting an off the plans BER done at the moment. Is this too much. If anyone has any examples of what the council is looking for I'd love to see them.

    Thanks,
    Cormac

    The BER assessment will be required . DEAP ( the software for BER ) can also generate a report to show Part L compliance . Ask you assessor for it .

    Note that the Dwellings Energy assessment Procedure (DEAP) will show compliance with most parts of part L. Your BER Assessor should be able to advise you on the parts that it does not ( Thermal Bridging, Air Tightness, compliance of water tanks, pipes 7 controls).

    Its in Roscommon. CoCo just got back to me looking for more info. Has anyone else been asked for this? It's crap because no one else has examples of what the coco needs. Very frustrating.

    Talk later,

    IMO compliance with TGD L, providing DEAP is not a Planning issue and should definately not be asked for as part of an FI.

    IMO this information is not required for planning permission. Building Control has nothing to do with planning. It causes delays in the process and unnecessary inconvenience and expense to the applicant.

    I submitted a load of U-value calculations, and a Deap up to compliance with part L to Roscommon coco but it was for a '06 granted development.

    I doubt they know what they are looking for themselves.

    It's a good sign that your planning will be granted if they have reason to consider energy issues.

    lip service jimbo....

    the dwelling MUST comply with building regs....

    and request for calcs at planning stage is a complete waste of energy (see what i did there ;) )

    Hi all,

    Having a bit of trouble.

    Talking with the planner. They said that SEI have an XLS sheet that would help me. Does anyone know of any xls on the SEI website?

    Also talking to my BER person. They are just out of college and have completed the BER course. Its there first job and I want to support them. They have said I need a MPRN number and official registered address.

    I'm a bit confused. Maybe I don't need the full BER. But what do I need.

    Thanks for help,
    Cormac

    You only need the MPRN no if you want a BER CERT .

    The planners are just looking for an assessment ( which believe me - they won't make head nor tail of sorry to say )

    You novice friend CAN use his DEAP software to generate a DEAP assessment only

    Offaly Co Co Building Control also are looking for Part L compliance DEAP calcs.

    Anyone designing any form of dwelling should be familiar with using the DEAP software i.e do a BER course for chr*st sake...
