There is no record of applications from social housing tenants who have applied for permission to carry out energy efficiency upgrades of their homes to a BER of B2.     

The locations for the Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme are determined by the Council’s technical team based on existing Building Energy Rating & Building type with the project spread across the existing Housing Stock. It is envisaged that the location of future energy efficiency retrofit works will be determined based on the periodic property inspections which are to commence in 2024.
