Do You Need Planning Permission for Your Non-Domestic Flue?
Are you considering adding a flue to your building for either a biomass or a combined heat and power (CHP) system? For numerous commercial or public properties, you typically won't need to submit a full planning application to your local council for this type of installation. This streamlined approval process is officially referred to as 'permitted development'.
The definition of 'non-domestic' land for these specific development rights is quite extensive. It covers a wide array of sites, ranging from various types of businesses to essential community buildings.
