  Ground Source Heat Pump installed at the farm in March 2022. We understood that installation of Ground Source Heat Pump came under the 'permitted development'. The Ground pipes were buried under the field. We were advised recently that since the ground pipes were not strictly within the curtilage of the house, we must apply for retrospective planning permission. The ground has been levelled back and the any disrupted drainage has been put together. The ground is now ready for planting of vegetables and fruit trees.
