How the guides fit together
The planning pages answer "may I put it there?". They build on one national rule, Class G, and on the local facts that change how it applies in this city: 36 conservation areas, 1,569 listed-building records and a waterfront that is no longer a World Heritage Site. The homes pages answer "will it work in my home?", from the yard of a terrace, the type 37.9% of households lived in at the 2021 census, to a flat on a shared supply. The funding pages answer "who helps pay?", for a city where only 46.8% of households owned their home in 2021.
None of the guides names or recommends an installer, and none covers anywhere outside the Liverpool City Council boundary. Each one lists the Liverpool facts it relies on beside the text, with a link to where each figure comes from, so you can check them yourself.
A suggested order
For a house: run the street check, read the page for your type of home, then the noise page, and only then look at funding, because the planning position decides what an installer can quote for. For a flat: start with terraces and flats for the block-of-flats rules and the freeholder's consent, then the electricity network page. For a tenant: start with renters and landlords, since the landlord's agreement comes before everything else. And if the street check says a rule is not met, the planning applications page explains the two ways forward.
