The measures are part of wider efforts to reach net zero targets. Heat pumps are common features in houses in countries like Norway and Sweden but haven\u2019t taken off yet in the UK. England\u2019s relaxation of rules governing the installation of heat pumps, solar panels and double glazing in listed buildings will affect just under 3 million properties in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Listed buildings are structures of special architectural or historic interest that are protected by regulations restricting interventions or demolition. Owners of historic houses will no longer have to apply for permission to install energy-efficient technology under the measures proposed by the housing department. Under the new system, local councils will have the power to grant permission for green tech to be installed across entire housing areas. Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, told UK press that listed buildings \u201ccan and must accommodate change\u201d to help the country hit net-zero targets.<\/p>\n<p>The organisation has, however, proposed conditions such as installing the technology where it is hidden from public view to ensure the additions are not intrusive. Residents have welcomed the changes, as planning rules have proved a \u2018key barrier\u2019 to retrofitting homes with green technology. Gaining permission was lambasted as a lengthy and overly bureaucratic process that meant missing out on financial incentives. Homeowners who are replacing fossil fuel heating systems and have an installation capacity of up to 45kWth are eligible for the grant.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/01\/04\/the-uk-has-the-fewest-heat-pumps-in-europe-can-new-planning-rules-change-this\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-456\/\">The UK has the fewest heat pumps in Europe.
