Housing and Planning Minister John Healey has today launched measures to cut carbon emissions by overhauling the planning system.
In proposals published today for consultation, homeowners, developers and businesses will be able to install their own on-site wind turbines, and air source heat pumps without the expense and red tape of planning permission.
The new rules would also allow councils and electric car drivers to install electric car charger points on streets and in car parks without needing to make a planning application.”
