EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends Part 40 of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/418). This Part confers permitted development rights for the installation of certain microgeneration equipment on a dwellinghouse or within its curtilage. Some of these rights also apply to a block of flats. Where permitted development rights apply, no specific application for planning permission is required.
Article 2(2) inserts new classes D and E into Part 2 of Schedule 2 (minor operations). These create permitted development rights for the installation, alteration or replacement of electric vehicle charging points in off-street car parks. Article 2(3) substitutes a new class A in Part 12 of Schedule 2 (development by local authorities). It provides new permitted development rights for a local authority or urban development corporation to erect or construct and maintain, improve or alter electric vehicle charging points and associated infrastructure.
Article 2(4) and the Schedule to this Order substitute a new Part 40 of Schedule 2 to the Order. The new Part 40 confers permitted development rights for the installation of specified types of microgeneration equipment on or within the curtilage of dwellinghouses or blocks of flats subject to certain criteria. It makes minor changes to Classes A to F of Part 40 and introduces three new classes of permitted development rights to install certain types of microgeration equipment. These are the installation, alteration or replacement of an air source heat pump (Class G) a wind turbine mounted on a building (Class H) and a stand alone wind turbine (Class I). The rights to fix wind turbines to buildings apply only to equipment installed on a detached dwellinghouse or to a detached building within the curtilage of a dwellinghouse or block of flats.
An impact assessment has been prepared in relation to this Order. The assessment has been placed in the Library of each House of Parliament and copies may be obtained from the Department for Communities and Local Government, Bressenden Place, London, SW1E 5DU (Telephone 0303 44 41729).
This Order was notified in draft to the European Commission in accordance with 98/34/EC(1) as amended by Directive 98/48/EC(2).
