'Green Tax' For Eco-Friendly Renovations

Homeowners could be forced to pay for eco-friendly renovations when they want to make simple household repairs under plans being considered by the Government.
The scheme would affect people installing windows, boilers or even conservatories in what has been dubbed a 'green tax'.
Local councils would be given powers to make you add a new roof and wall insulation or draught proofing on doors before giving you the go-ahead.

Almost the same Prices here in Germany.
Premium E5: 2.20 $ per litre
Regular E10: 2,17$ per litre
Premium Plus: 2,27$ per litre
Diesel: 1,99$ per litre

And 3 Pounds for a beer is not very expensive by Munich price standards.
For example: Löwenbräu (Draught) 0,5 litre 3,40€ (about 2,80 pound)
and when you go to a Beergarden in Munich preper to pay between 7 and 8 € per litre.
Ah an by the way if you like Guinnes the price for a pint is actually about 5€ (4,12 Pound) per pint.

My windows and conservatory are relatively new (3 years) so tax the wealthy because they are probably the only ones who can afford such renovations since the tories came into power

Don't tax doors just yet because I'm seriously considering a black grp composite version

Wow thats errrr......

according to the Daily Mail.

So its just a silly story as its the same as current building regulations.
I wonder if you can find a Daily HateMail article complaining about people flouting those same regulations.
Maybe black polish muslim immigrant cowboy builders con blind war hero pensioners widow with shoddy work and materials on his new conservatory.
Or poor granny left to freeze with ancient boiler and no insulation in draughty deathtrap by evil gypsies who stole her tarmac and killed her cat

True the DM goes over board but never the less this government is looking in to it. I think if this was to go ahead there would be a backlash which they rather not see.

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.

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).
