Planning Permission May 2025
Having read the new relaxed permission rules, it appears that A2A heat pumps are not allowed to be installed without permission on a 'normal' property! Apparently they have to comply with MCS which they don't and installed by an MCS installer which maybe 90% are not. Also, all A2W heat pumps can heat and cool so the previous information saying must only heat was misguided. Any specialists here who can clarify please? There are many 100s being installed every week believing the relaxed planning is as expected.
