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.
The survey

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