contractors Vital Energi stating that planning permission is required for the
works to install the energy transfer equipment and apparatus on behalf of the

Altaf, Roz and I welcome this as the planning process will ensure that full
details of the development are made clear, residents will have a chance to
comment, and appropriate conditions can be applied and enforced.
Until we see the response from Vital Energi we do not know what will happen
next, but one option would be that an application is made retrospectively.
