Permitted Development Rights Extended To Cover Air Source Heat Pumps
Information published on the www.legislation.gov.uk website indicates that the current rules regarding permitted development rights have been extended to cover the installation of Air Source Heat Pumps. Although subject to a number of minor conditions covering installations around conservation areas and listed buildings, this means that under most circumstances Air Source Heat Pumps can now be installed without the need for planning permission.

RHI Commercial Tariff Now Open for Applications
DECC have announced that from Monday 28th November, businesses and communities across Britain will be able to apply for a tariff payment under the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme.
This is phase one of the RHI scheme, supporting commercial installations. Organisations can now apply to Ofgem for support under the scheme and will receive payments on a quarterly basis for heat generated over 20 years.
The Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme for commercial applications will provide payments for eligible new installations and installations which have been installed and commissioned since 15th July 2009. Recipients will be paid 4.5p per kWh for ground source heat pump installations less than 100 kWh, and 3.2p per kWh for installations 100 kWh and above.
Energy and Climate Change Minister Greg Barker said:
“The RHI will usher in a new era in clean green heat technology. It’s a world first and has the potential to put the UK at the forefront of a vibrant new green technology sector.”
“Renewable heat will be a big win for our economy – it will support thousands of green jobs, reduce our dependency on imported fossil fuels, reduce our carbon emissions and help us meet our renewable target.”
The RHI has a key role to play in meeting the UK’s 2020 renewables target, will help reduce the UK’s dependence on expensive imported fossil fuels and will cut emissions by 43 million tonnes of carbon by 2020 - equivalent to the annual carbon emitted by 19 typical new gas power stations. Up to 500,000 jobs are expected to be created in the renewables industry as a whole by the end of the decade.
The Renewable Heat Premium Payment scheme is already up and running, providing money off renewable heat technologies for householders. Vouchers are still available - householders have until 31st March next year to apply.
DECC have confirmed there will also be support for householders under the second phase of the RHI, the timing of which will be confirmed early in 2012.
The Government remains absolutely committed to driving the renewable heat agenda not just in the industrial, business and public sector, but in the domestic sector as well. To submit an application for the commercial RHI tariffs, visit the Ofgem website and create an RHI account.
