CFrequently asked questions

FAQs - Planning approval for your Turbine

Do I need planning permission?

Planning permission is required in the UK but planning regulations vary globally. A planning pack is available from the 'our products' section of the website, but we recommend you 'take the tour' to find out more about planning and installation. To find out more about your local market, why not click on 'buy a wind turbine' or check with your local reseller by finding them in the reseller locator.

Can I appeal a planner’s decision?

A planner’s decision can be appealed if you follow the appeal process as per the instructions on your application form.

Are there guidelines to help my application?

Unlike larger-scale wind which has a complete set of guidelines, small-scale wind doesn’t have anything so comprehensive. In Scotland the PAN 45 and in England and Wales the - PPG / PPS 22 help encourage planners to approve small-scale renewable projects and this does help a planning application through. Scotland has nothing formal yet but like England , Wales and Northern Ireland , most planners are supportive.
