Market conditions are challenging with supply of products and materials affected across several measures. This is, in part, why extensions to the delivery period have already been granted. Where Local Authorities have planned or commissioned work in good time the extended timescales should allow sufficient time to source the necessary products.

When considering any changes to the timelines of the LAD scheme, the Government must also consider the potential impact this may have on subsequent energy efficiency schemes and the supply chain. This includes the projects awarded funding through the Sustainable Warmth competition and the next phase of the Home Upgrade Grant scheme.
