Remove the need for planning permission for energy efficiency improvements

Petition Details

We want the Government to amend planning legislation so that energy efficiency improvements, such as schemes to install double glazing and doors, including UPVC framed, do not require planning permission. Only grade 1 listed buildings should be excluded.

Additional Information

I live in a village which is partly a conservation area. The local council seems to systematically refuse planning permission for UPVC windows.

As a consequence of this we have many older buildings with windows in poor condition and which could be better insulated.

UPVC framed windows are much cheaper than wooden frames, require hardly any maintenance, and can appear very similar to wooden frames.
