Conservatory air conditioning in Eastbourne
In Eastbourne, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
If your conservatory in Eastbourne faces south, that is where overheating is worst. Eastbourne is about 19 miles from Brighton and falls within our East Sussex coverage. Coverage includes BN21.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
