The Government is fully committed to encouraging homeowners to incorporate energy efficiency measures in their properties, to tackle climate change.
In order to be eligible for funding under the Green Homes Grant Voucher scheme, applicants must have obtained the necessary consents and permissions from all relevant authorities and parties to install measures in their property. This is specified in the scheme’s Customer Terms and Conditions.
Furthermore, all works completed under the scheme must be compliant with building regulations and standards.
