What does the Broseley Hotspur 5 woodburning stove offer?

There are some stoves which need little in the way of introduction and we can safely say that the Broseley Hotspur 5 woodburning stove comes into this category. Broseley Stoves has a reputation for understanding the market, creating top quality multifuel (this particular kit can burn certain types of coal when adding an optional kit) and wood-burning stoves and above all delivering at a reasonable price. The ability to understand both the traditional and the contemporary markets is not commonplace across the industry, many companies seem to concentrate on one or the other, and this does offer opportunities to mix and match styles, designs and new technology.

This particular machine has an efficiency rating of 82% which is certainly up there in the higher echelons for the industry. Such is the company’s confidence in the standard of manufacture that the body of the Broseley Hotspur 5 woodburning stove also comes with a five year guarantee.

Do you need planning permission for a wood-burning stove?

There is a common misconception that those looking to install a wood-burning stove or multifuel stove will require planning permission from their local authority. Historically, yes you may well have required some kind of clearance from your local authority, but recent changes mean that in the vast majority of cases no formal planning permission will be required. There are still rules, regulations and guidelines but as long as you are sensible you will not require planning permission.

If you would like to contact us directly feel free to call on 01706 813393 or email us at sales@bowlandstoves.co.uk

Government guidance

The official guidance from the UK government suggests that planning consent is not required if the following conditions are adhered to:

•    The flue is situated at the rear or side of the building with maximum clearance of 1 m above the highest part of the roof.
•    Even if you have permitted development rights, if a building is listed or in a designated area it is sensible to check with your local planning authority about installing a flue. In the majority of cases further planning permission will not be required but it is better to be safe than sorry.
•    No flue should be fitted on the principle or the side elevation of a building that faces onto a highway.
