Hi
Is planning permission need for an air conditioning unit to be installed in a residential property? I have looked online and am getting mixed signals with some air con installers saying they can sell units which get around pp requirements because there is no external unit where as others are saying pp is not required if sounds levels are low and if the condensing unit is 1m from the boundary or not on the edge of a flat roof.
I was planning on installing the condensing unit either on ground floor level near the boundary line on the side rear (1m away from fence) and possibly another on the flat roof near to the house side rather than the wall side.
Thanks.
