Make your home greener and ready for climate change

Retrofit guides for the ESSA Conservation Area

If you live in a conservation area, you may need additional permissions to retrofit your home.

Our retrofit guides for the Edward Square, Scarsdale and Abingdon (ESSA) Conservation Area will help you to improve your home in ways that reduce carbon emissions while protecting its character.

Although written for the ESSA Conservation Area, the advice is useful across the entire borough.

This project was funded by the Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy.
