Question
To ask the Scottish Executive when it will provide further permitted development rights for domestic micro-wind turbines and air source heat pumps.
Answer
Following our initial consultation on permitted development rights in January 2010, an Amendment Order setting out a limited range of permitted development rights for domestic micro-wind turbines and air-source heat pumps will be laid in the Scottish Parliament today.
A further consultation which sets out additional proposals for extending the scope of permitted development rights for domestic micro-wind turbines and air-source heat pumps has been issued today.
Copies of the consultation have been placed in the Scottish Parliament''s Information Centre (Bib number 50132).
