Strood heat network zone

Strood was one of the 28 places in the government's Heat Network Zoning Pilot, which tested how zones would be identified on the ground. No heat network zone has been formally designated anywhere yet, because the zoning regulations are not in force.

If you own or manage a building in Strood

Nothing is legally required of you yet. Once regulations are in force and a zone is designated, the zone developer can ask the coordination body to send connection notices to buildings in the categories the government has set out: new buildings that receive planning permission after the zone is designated; existing buildings with communal heating, both domestic and non-domestic; and existing non-domestic buildings with a wet heating system and average heat demand above 100 MWh a year.

The sensible thing to do now is to understand your annual heat demand, check whether your heating is a wet system and note any lease terms or planned plant replacement that could affect your position.
