Ask about solar on your Nantwich home

This is an independent guide to Nantwich homes, not an installer or planning consultant. Describe the building and your question; SEO-DONS LTD reads it and replies by email.

• Asking costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
• Your details stay with us: they are not passed to any installer, and nobody will phone or call round.
• Before agreeing anything with a firm, read choosing an installer.

Examples of questions you could send

• “Our house on the edge of the conservation area has a flat-roofed extension. What route would panels there take?”
• “We heat with oil outside Audlem. Is a diverter worth asking about?”
• “The front of our house is timber-framed. Can we use plug-in panels?”
• “Could a frame in the paddock go behind the house without an application?”

How we work out an answer

1. Place the address in the town centre, the rest of Nantwich or a village, because that decides which planning limits apply.
2. Check whether the building is listed and whether the council lists any direction for the area.
3. Sort the panel position into one of the four planning routes.
4. Give the PVGIS figure for the direction and pitch you describe, scaled to any system size you mention.
5. Say which Cheshire East scheme could apply, and what the scheme itself must confirm.

After you send it

The message arrives by email at SEO-DONS LTD, with the page you sent it from. A person reads it and replies from the same address. Where the decision belongs to the council or a surveyor, the reply says so and suggests what to ask. You will not be added to a mailing list, and you can ask for your message to be deleted, as the privacy notice explains.

What we cannot do

Visit, inspect a roof, predict a planning decision for a listed building, confirm grant eligibility or recommend a firm. The route finder may answer the planning part straight away. How messages are handled is in the privacy notice and terms; complaints go through the contact page.
