Air conditioning torn from homes under net zero clampdown Climate change regulations prioritised despite soaring temperatures 4958 Gift this article free Add us as preferred source Harry Brennan Consumer Affairs Editor. Robert White Published 24 June 2026 6:11pm BST Homeowners are being forced to tear out air conditioning from their private properties under climate laws, despite rising temperatures. Council planning officers ordered residents to remove air-con units over fears they produce too much carbon dioxide, stating they should only be used as a “last resort”. The net zero clampdown is part of building regulations that state “active cooling” should only ever be allowed when all other means of “passive cooling”, such as opening windows or using fans, have been exhausted. ... In one of a string of cases uncovered by The Telegraph, a resident living in North London was forced to “permanently remove” two air-con units from the back of their home. Planning inspectors working for Camden council said there was “no justification” for the air-con units and that they failed to comply with the local authority’s so-called “cooling hierarchy”. In an appeal, the resident was told to open the windows and balcony doors of their first-floor flat to ventilate the property “by natural means”. Their concerns about security were dismissed, with inspectors saying the risk was not “as great as those associated with ground floor windows” and that the windows could be shut at night.
