Conservatory air conditioning in Coulsdon
If your conservatory in Coulsdon faces south, that is where overheating is worst. London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset.

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.
