Details
This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit or meet an exemption for a groundwater activity when you install and operate a single closed loop ground source heating and cooling system for residential premises.
However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.
The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
