Permit-to-fly restrictions

Seriously considering buying a Vans RV7 kit and currently weighing up the pro's and con's versus buying a certified aircraft.
One thing that struck me was that homebuilt aircraft are limited to VFR only in the UK. Im sure I read somewhere that with the new-fangled euroregs that are making their way over to this side of the channel, there was consideration being given to allow homebuilts the ability to fly IFR. Am I dreaming or is this really the case?????
As the RV is a pretty nippy little aircraft I would be looking to go touring but feel that having an IFR restriction may hamper my options somewhat.

Can anyone give me any pointers as to whether or not homebuilts MAY be given IFR status as they are in the US??
