In the Government's British Energy Security Strategy, published earlier this year, we committed to reviewing the practical planning barriers that households can face when installing energy efficiency measures, including solar panels on listed buildings. The review commenced during the summer and has involved extensive engagement with the heritage sector, including amenity societies. An announcement will be made on the outcomes of the review in due course
