Frequently asked questions about GSHP Borehole
Do I need permission to drill boreholes for GSHP?
In most cases, borehole drilling for domestic GSHP does not require planning permission. However, you must notify the Environment Agency if drilling deeper than 50m or in a groundwater Source Protection Zone. Check local requirements.
How deep are GSHP boreholes?
Typical domestic GSHP boreholes are 60-200m deep, depending on the ground conditions and heat demand. A thermal response test (TRT) may be conducted to determine the ground thermal conductivity before the full installation.
