This Order amends Part 2 of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order 1995 (“the 1995 order”). Part 2 of Schedule 2 confers permitted development rights in respect of certain development. Where such rights apply, no specific application for planning permission is needed.

It provides permitted development rights for the installation of specified types of microgeneration equipment including solar PV and solar thermal equipment on or within the curtilage of dwellinghouses (defined so as to include a building which consists wholly of flats or which is used for the purposes of a dwellinghouse) subject to certain criteria. Article 2(2) makes a consequential change.
