Question
Why does the Welsh Government impose regulations prohibiting the installation of heat pumps within 3 meters of any property border, while in England the distance requirement is only 1 meter?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
Welsh Government officials are reviewing permitted development rights for air source heat pumps. The review will address any potential planning obstacles to take up, while ensuring proper consideration of amenity issues, such as noise.
