Solar, Heat Pumps & EV Charging in Bromley
Checked against your actual property, not a borough-wide guess
Bromley is the largest London borough by area, with a housing mix that suits solar, heat pumps and EV charging better than most of inner London: generous 1930s semis and detached homes in Chislehurst and Bickley, Edwardian stock around Beckenham, and Victorian terraces in Bromley town centre — much of it with more roof space and side access than further into the city.
Pretium Synergy installs solar PV, battery storage, air source heat pumps and EV chargers across Bromley — checked against your actual property and its planning status, not a generic borough-wide estimate.
What's different about installing here
Conservation areas are common here, but they don’t rule everything out
Bromley has a significant number of conservation areas — concentrated around historic town centres and villages like Chislehurst, Petts Wood and Beckenham — and some carry Article 4 directions that remove certain permitted development rights. What that means for solar or a heat pump specifically depends on the exact address and the specific direction — general restrictions on extensions and roof alterations are not automatically the same as microgeneration (Part 14) rules. We check the address before recommending anything.
Most of the borough sits outside these designations
Interwar semi-detached stock through Bromley, Beckenham, Orpington and Petts Wood typically retains standard PD rights for solar and heat pumps, subject to national size and placement conditions.
Green Belt covers over half the borough
Southern and eastern fringes (e.g. Downe, Cudham, Biggin Hill) sit within Green Belt and, in parts, the Kent Downs National Landscape. That affects new building more than solar or heat pumps on an existing home, but matters if the property sits in that fringe.

Grid connection in Bromley
Bromley sits within UK Power Networks’ South Eastern licence area. Solar and battery may proceed under G98 notification or need G99 — Pretium handles this and flags early if the longer route is likely.

Planning information above is a general guide based on borough-wide patterns and may not reflect your specific address. Conservation area boundaries, Article 4 directions, and permitted development rights for solar and heat pump installations specifically should always be confirmed against Bromley Council’s current planning records before work proceeds — we do this as standard as part of your assessment.
