Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 17 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill 2005-06.


As amended in the Standing Committee, further considered.

That is a helpful point and I look forward to the hon. Gentleman’s contribution, to which I shall have the opportunity to respond. I believe that the best way of tackling the problem is by leaving out clause 9. Clause 9 currently discriminates against installations within the curtilage of a dwelling house, but not buildings that contain one or more flats. I hope that the Minister will deal with that point. If one’s neighbour lived in a flat, one would have no worries, but if one’s neighbour lived in a bungalow or a detached, semi-detached or terraced house, there are potential problems. My home in London where I stay during the week is a terraced house and the impact on my quality of life if my neighbours began installing such equipment in their gardens could be significant.
