The gist is that official electrical installation guidance is changing in the UK, to strongly advise against the installation of batteries in the likes of lofts, cupboards and even garages.
Maybe others can comment on the ramifications of these guidelines form a legal point of view.
But it is not difficult to see an insurance company in future refusing to offer home insurance where these guidelines are not followed.

Given that even garages may not provide adequate ventilation, will batteries have to be installed outside the house? (In which case, what happens when it rains!)
