In Hackney the rule depends on the street. In six conservation areas an Article 4 direction removes permitted development rights for windows, roofs, panels or heat pumps: De Beauvoir, Brownswood, St Mark's, Beck Road, Shacklewell Green and Well Street. There, replacing windows or fitting panels on the roof requires planning permission. In the other 31 areas the directions cover different matters, and the general rules apply.

Walls, boilers and heat pumps

Uninsulated solid walls account for 50.5% of homes in these areas (across England's areas the figure is 48.7%), but the spread is wide: in Kingsland it is 26% of 2,539 houses, in Northwold & Cazenove 84%. In the largest, Graham Road and Mapledene, it is 72%, and 90% of homes have a gas boiler. The EPC register shows 135 heat pumps as of November 2026, most of them in South Shoreditch (31).

Check your own street on the area page or with the council. The site summarises the national rules as at 21 October 2026; the planning decision rests with Hackney council.
