If there is no flexibility in this new condition it will have a massive impact on the affordability and resilience of any new-build croft house. Once again, a centralised Scottish Government that does not consider the sustainability of rural and island communities.

While the move towards zero direct emissions is to be welcomed, there has been little public consultation on this, and no loud announcement of a wood stove ban. It also feels very much like a central-belt based policy, with little regard paid to Scottish rural house dwellers. 7/7

Can't wait for this - really interesting. What a great topic for a special issue

Banning wood-burning stoves is a disaster for us. They are a key part of our net zero by 2030 strategy. Practical & cheap to fit compared to heat pumps etc. They provide hot water in winter when solar thermal can't. Island timber harvesting provides local affordable fuel & jobs.
