Do I need planning permission for air conditioning?
When air conditioning in England counts as permitted development, and when you need permission.
Permitted development
In England, many outdoor units on houses are permitted development if they meet size, noise and position conditions.
When you may need permission
Flats, listed buildings, conservation areas, and units on a wall or roof facing a highway often need permission. Flats usually also need freeholder consent.
Ask your installer
A good installer will flag planning considerations during the survey.
