Question
To ask the Scottish Government what plans it has to create a level playing field for the promotion of micro renewables within the planning system.
Answer
All planning applications are determined in accordance with the relevant local development plan unless there are material considerations that would justify a departure from the plan.
There are extensive permitted development rights for the installation of both domestic and non-domestic micro-renewables. As part of the ongoing review of the planning system we propose to consult on whether any changes or additions to permitted development rights, including those for micro-renewables, should be made in due course.
