Scotland bans wood burning stoves in new builds under net-zero regulations amid architect criticism.
Scotland has implemented a ban on wood burning stoves in new builds as part of strict net-zero regulations that also prohibit oil, gas, boilers, and solid fuel heating systems.

The Scottish Government denies the claim, stating that wood burning stoves can be installed in new homes but are restricted to emergency use only.
