Nationally set permitted development rights enable the installation of air and ground source heat pumps without the need to submit a planning application.

The previous government consulted on proposed changes to these rights, and on 21 November we announced our intention to amend the existing permitted development right for air source heat pumps in early 2025, to allow more flexibility in installation and size of heat pumps.
