Mr. Ian Austin

The Government are working to the timetables set out in the Green Energy (Definition and Promotion) Act 2009 for the introduction of permitted development rights for wind turbines. This Act came into force on 12 January 2010. It requires that, in England, the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 be amended to provide for the grant of permitted development rights for domestic wind turbines within six months of the Act’s coming into force. It also requires the Secretary of State to consider amending the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 to facilitate the installation of microgeneration equipment on non-domestic land in England, with this consideration beginning within six months of the Act’s coming into force.
