The April release of data from the Government on the Green Homes Grant shows that applications were increasing in the months before the scheme was scrapped, with a record number of applications made in March 2021. This comes after the Government blamed the failures of the Green Homes Grant on a lack of homeowner demand.

The government promised the grants would help refit 600,000 homes but this final release of data shows that just 95,748 households will benefit in the end.
