To consider the Notice of Motion and offer advice to Council
Minutes:
Consideration was given to a Notice of Motion which had been submitted by Councillor D Brickhill at the Council meeting on 13 October which was referred to the Strategic Planning Board for advice and report back to Council for decision in December.
“That since the government is running the Photovoltaic roof panel scheme for householders to generate green electricity and have exempted this from all planning permission requirements, that this Council notify any enquirers that planning permission is not required and cease to require details, drawings or charges except for listed buildings or conservation areas for which permission is still required”
RESOLVED
That the report be noted and that Council be recommended to continue to adopt the approach as advocated within the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order.
