HOUSEHOLDERS will be allowed to build wind turbines on the roofs of suburban homes to generate green electricity under a sweeping overhaul of NSW planning laws.
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal the State Government is proposing to allow small windmills with a generating capacity of 10kW or less to be erected in residential areas, adding to solar panels as an option for domestic power generation.
A height limit of 3m above the roof line will be imposed and turbines will have to be at least 25m from neighbouring properties.
