True the DM goes over board but never the less this government is looking in to it.
If you look into it the "new" thing it is only a tiny insignificant proposed reworking of the current long running grant system for renovations.

I think if this was to go ahead there would be a backlash which they rather not see.
You mean like the crazy backlash when they redid the upstairs windows renovation rules so it included fire safety as well as the usual thermal efficiency...
yeah there was mobs in the street for that especially as the additional grant only really kicked in if your building was one which already had planning restrictions of the appearance of any windows you wanted to put in(ie you already had to use leaded lights or sash window and the new fire safety feature was more expensive in those designs).
