Information Leaflet # 12
Renewable Energy Development within the Curtilage for a Dwelling House-Permitted Development Rights
August 2006

Background

1. The purpose of this leaflet is to provide guidance to householders on the extent to which small scale renewable energy development could be ‘permitted development’ under Schedule 1 to the Planning (General Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 1993 (the GDO) and, therefore, not require an application for planning permission.

2. It should be emphasised that this is guidance only and where there is any doubt about whether a development is permitted development it is the responsibility of the householder to seek specific advice from the Divisional Planning Office.

3. This paper considers the main technologies which the Department considers relevant to small scale renewable energy development and has been structured accordingly.
