Your Guide to Installing a Home Wind Turbine
Are you considering installing a wind turbine at your home? You might be able to put one up without needing to apply for formal planning permission, provided your proposed installation meets specific limits and conditions. These allowances are often referred to as 'permitted development rights'.
However, if your planned wind turbine does not fit these particular criteria, then you will certainly need to apply for planning permission from your Local Planning Authority (LPA). This is the body responsible for making planning decisions in your area.
Before taking any steps, you must always speak with your Local Planning Authority about any planning issues before you begin installing a wind turbine system.
