Rescinding the church ruling.

[Mr Wiggy]

On a recent meeting with my bank manageress regarding the updating my insurances, mainly insurance for my credit card as I became the victim of a cloned bank card so health and house cover was also discussed, she asked if I had any environmental installation in my house i.e. Double Glazing, Insulation, which I have, she asked, “Had I anything else”?

“No” said I “Basically because of the proximity of the church to my house, it’s less than the statutory 500Mtrs from the church, and I would like to install solar panels on my roof.”

She then said something that came as a big surprise; she said that there are plans to rescind this piece of legislation.

Has anyone heard of this being the case?

Here is the proposed legislation, part of the "Grenelle 2" project, which has been accepted by the Sénat

EDIT, and here is what the president of the association of the architectes des bâtiments de France has to say about it

Thanks Very much Cathy.

This will certainly keep me busy for many an evening whilst quaffing a glass or two of Spritza.

Wow, that's interesting. I live within 500m of a church too and would love to take the rotten timbers of my shed off and use it as a car port instead. Just don't feel like putting in all the paperwork to do it. This would save that bother.
