Current rules that require businesses to apply for planning permission if solar panels will generate more than one megawatt of electricity will also be scrapped, meaning organisations will be able to install more solar panels on rooftops without the delay and cost of applying for planning permission.
This, in part, will be achieved by replacing current technologies with low-carbon alternatives such as heat pumps and solar panels. When the FHS was proposed, the then-Conservative government chose not to mandate the installation of solar panels on newbuild homes, but the signatories want to see this changed.
In the letter they are asking the housing minister to mandate that all newly built homes in the UK be fitted with a “meaningful array” of solar panels, as well as the current promise of a mandate for heat pumps or low-carbon heat networks.
"We are disappointed that no clear stance has been declared on mandating Solar PV for all new homes, but remain hopeful that the outcome of the consultation will conclude that solar is a must-have for new build homes, supporting homeowners by decreasing electricity bills, securing energy independence, and reducing their carbon impact."
Changes to permitted development rights rules will mean more homeowners and businesses will be able to install solar panels on their roofs without going through the planning system. Currently those who have to go through the planning system are having to wait over eight weeks and face extra costs.
David Cowdrey, acting chief executive of the MCS Foundation, said: “Mandating developers to put solar panels and heat pumps in all newbuild homes will not only save households thousands of pounds, it will also massively boost the domestic renewables workforce at no cost to the treasury.
