[QUOTE="Satty, post: 6532434, member: 142667"] I work as an air quality consultant and over the past two months we have seen an increase in the number of farmers coming to us requiring retrospective planning permission for their biomass boilers. I completely sympathise with you: it is unfair that the goalposts have changed and RFI is being withheld until it is sorted. The government should be encouraging the uptake of renewable energy sources through new subsidies, not making it more difficult for those who have already invested in renewables. The Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) we have dealt with so far are understanding and only asking for a short technical note to gain planning permission. The technical note involves comparing the emission rates of the biomass boilers against benchmarks defined by Defra’s biomass tool: [URL]https://laqm.defra.gov.uk/assets/biomassemissionsscreeningtoolv7.xls[/URL] Feel free to drop me a message with any further questions.
