Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether listed property owners will benefit from the Warm Homes Plan; and, if so, how.

The Warm Homes Plan will invest £15 billion; the biggest ever public investment in home upgrades. We will help millions of households benefit from solar panels, batteries, heat pumps and insulation to cut bills, reaching up to five million homes by 2030 through direct support for those on low-incomes and in fuel poverty, grants and innovative low-interest finance available to all. The recent Electrification of Heat Demonstration project has shown that heat pumps can work effectively in UK homes from all historic periods.

A new Warm Homes Agency will be operational from 2027, providing consumers with information and advice on the schemes available to them, including owners of listed properties.

Historic England advocates taking a whole-building approach to retrofit of historic homes, and has produced a range of technical advice and guidance, including an advice note on energy efficiency, retrofit and Net Zero: https://historicengland.org.uk/advice/technical-advice/energy-efficiency-and-historic-buildings/
