Conservatory air conditioning in Ashbourne

If your conservatory in Ashbourne faces south, that is where overheating is worst. Ashbourne is about 12 miles from Derby and falls within our Derbyshire coverage. Coverage includes DE6.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey

Surveys in Ashbourne cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
