Eco Workshop - Eco Design, Planning & Sustainability
This event will explore what practical measures can be taken to make our homes more sustainable and energy efficient. This is your opportunity to get the facts straight from the experts: hear what’s happening with government incentives, and understand the green investment opportunities different technologies offer so you can balance upfront costs with the long-term savings they may provide. We are joined by industry expert David Hilton as well as a range of knowledgeable suppliers and manufacturers who will be on hand to help answer your questions on all things design & planning.

The Passivhaus standard is designed to deliver comfort, quality and lower running costs, in any type of building. We spend most of our time indoors, so buildings play an important part in our health and wellbeing. The most successful and cost-effective way of achieving Passivhaus is by incorporating the standard before your designs are complete. It’s also useful if the Passivhaus elements are included in your planning application.
Understanding the planning process is one of the most important first steps to a successful self-build, renovation or extension project. Join our free Drop-In Clinic for expert-led seminars and one-to-one advice covering planning permission, permitted development rights, planning applications and common pitfalls to avoid. Whether you''re just starting out or preparing to submit an application, you''ll leave with the knowledge and confidence to move your project forward.
