Leicester heat network zone

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.
