Planning and permissions
Wales removed its old 3 m boundary rule on 1 June 2026, so most houses in Welshpool can now have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it meets the MCS 020a noise condition. Listed buildings still need consent, and conservation areas have extra restrictions.

On a survey in Welshpool the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
