Permitted development rights for small scale renewable & low carbon energy technologies

19th March 2012

This report sets out the Government's response to the consultation, 'Permitted development rights for small scale renewable and low carbon energy technologies, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.'

The consultation was undertaken by the previous administration, between November 2009 and February 2010. Given the legal requirement in the Green Energy (Definition and Promotion) Act 2009 to bring forward some of these permitted development rights, as well as the important contribution these technologies can make towards meeting renewable and carbon reductions targets, the Government has opted to carry forward work on the basis of these consultation proposals rather than risk further delay.
