Exciting news for homeowners in England looking to embrace greener heating solutions!
New planning rules are coming into force on May 29th, making it significantly easier to install air source heat pumps without the hassle of planning permission. This is a key step in the government’s Warm Homes Plan.
Here’s a quick rundown of the changes:
• Boundary Restrictions Eased: No more one-meter boundary restriction!
• Increased Size Allowance: Permitted development now allows air source heat pumps up to 1.5 m3 (previously 0.6 m3).
• Cascade Systems Encouraged: Detached houses can now install up to two air source heat pumps under permitted development, facilitating efficient cascade systems.
• Cooling Function Included: Air-to-air heat pumps with cooling capabilities now benefit from the same permitted development rights as air-to-water systems.
This is a fantastic move towards promoting sustainable heating and making it more accessible for homeowners. I’m eager to see the positive impact these changes will have on reducing carbon emissions and creating warmer homes.
