Last updated: 30 September 2024 - Added that, if your system cannot meet the exemption conditions, you must either: meet all the conditions in RPS 307 'Discharge of heat to ground from a single closed loop ground source heating and cooling system supplying residential premises'; or get an environmental permit. Updated the headings for conditions 5.1 and 5.3 to say 'residential premises'.
