Some EU Member States’ planning processes have
been amended considerably to remove barriers to deployment,
for example, by switching to a system where approval is automatic unless stakeholders with a demonstrable interest can show

scales of application for RES-H, along with the variance in
prominence of different technologies, suggests potential for
different technologies to be impacted to different extents by
planning regimes. Smaller technologies which integrate on to
buildings easily are less likely to encounter problems than large scale technologies such as commercial biomass exploitation, for
example
