Rob looks into the government's plans to scrap size limits for heat pumps and electric car chargers, highlighting the potential impact of these changes on noise pollution and the challenges faced by homeowners in installing heat pumps. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The government are planning on scrapping size limits for heat pumps and electric car chargers under new government plans.
• The government are looking into installation of bigger units without planning permission to minimise noise pollution.
• We also have challenges in installing heat pumps in traditional UK housing due to space constraints and building materials.

BEST MOMENTS

"The government's looking to alter the permitted development rules to allow bigger units to be installed, minimising noise levels."

"A heat pump is not a solution for everyone, especially in traditional UK housing with limited space and thermal challenges."

"The government is trying to facilitate easier installations, but local authority approval may still be required for multiple heat pumps in flats."

"Heat pumps outside homes can produce a constant hum of 40-60 decibels, similar to a fridge or dishwasher, posing acoustic challenges."

"The realities of heat pumps are biting back, prompting the government to reconsider planning rules to address the red tape."
