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.

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