MICRO WIND TURBINES AND AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS

Posted on 19 January 2010

The Scottish Government has launched a consultation to extend Permitted Development rights to include the installation of Micro Wind Turbines and Air Source Heat Pumps on domestic buildings.

At the current time, the installation of such apparatus almost always requires householders to apply for Planning Permission, bringing with it a cost and time disincentive. The Scottish Government are committed to promoting a greater uptake of Micro Generation to enable the country to meet its renewable energy targets, and the consultation seeks views on changes to Permitted Development rights to facilitate this.

Responses to the consultation must be submitted by 1^st February 2010.

The full text of the consultation document can be accessed at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/publications/2010/01/14153239/1.
