Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about planning permission for your LPG boiler.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s planning permission?<\/h3>\n<p>Planning laws exist to control rural and urban developments. If you want to do certain jobs in your home, you might need to apply for planning permission. Other jobs are permitted developments, which means that you can go ahead and do the job as long as you follow certain conditions.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to apply for planning permission, you\u2019ll need to submit an application to your local authority. They\u2019ll review it and decide whether to give you permission or not. It\u2019s important that you wait to hear about this before you go ahead and do the work.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you need planning permission for your LPG boiler?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually, you won\u2019t need planning permission for your LPG boiler. However, if it has an external flue this has to be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No more than 1 metre above the highest part of your roof if it\u2019s on the rear or side of your property<\/li>\n<li>Not on the side or front of your property if it\u2019s on designated land and fronting a road<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you can\u2019t follow these rules then you\u2019ll need to apply for planning permission.<\/p>\n<p>If your property is listed or on designated land, it\u2019s a good plan to check with your local planning authority before fitting your boiler. Designated land includes World Heritage Sites, national parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and conservation areas.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you need planning permission for a fuel tank?<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget that if you install an LPG boiler, you\u2019ll need an outside fuel tank too. You usually won\u2019t need planning permission for this as long as the tank:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is no bigger than 3,500 litres<\/li>\n<li>Is no higher than 3 metres, or 2.5 metres if it\u2019s within 2 metres of a boundary<\/li>\n<li>Isn\u2019t between the front of your house and a road<\/li>\n<li>Doesn\u2019t mean that over half the land attached to your property is covered by other buildings, containers or enclosures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Plus, if your property is on designated land then you can\u2019t install the tank at the side of your home. You also need to make sure that a maximum of 10 square metres of any land 20 metres or more away from your home is covered by buildings or other additions.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t follow these rules or your property is listed then you\u2019ll need to apply for planning permission.<\/p>\n<p>To get further advice or apply for planning permission, get in touch with your local authority. You can find their details via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/find-local-council\">your local council\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s important to make sure that you follow all relevant planning laws when you install your boiler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1491,"template":"","meta":[],"tags":[],"tax_works":[10],"class_list":["post-1490","standards","type-standards","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tax_works-heating"],"acf":{"sponsored_post":null,"partner_name":null,"partner_logo":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Do You Need Planning Permission for Your LPG Boiler?
