As set out in the British Energy Security Strategy published last year, the Government has undertaken a review of the practical planning barriers that households can face when installing energy efficiency and low carbon heating measures such as heat pumps, including in conservation areas and listed buildings. An announcement on the outcome of the review will be made shortly.
