Scrapping the 1m rule is so vital to rollout. I know people who'd love a HP but their gardens just aren't big enough and they're scared/confused by the planning system.

The anti-HP lot will winge about noise but it's just scare mongering.

FWIW natural refrigerants (R290) can enable quieter HPs!

And in this case also very old historic flats.

Don’t believe the naysayers.
