The planning portal puts ground source heat pumps into permitted development rights but does not say how this conclusion was reached or by what authority. It then makes out that for listed buildings there may be local requirements and the developer should contact somebody. If the developer had any wit they would construct what ever they want and call it a ground source heat pump and say that they heard a rumour that it was a permitted right in the event that they were challenged.
